CrossOver, the amazing product for Mac and Linux that lets you run Windows applications (such as Uru) natively, is FREE for today only! Crossover is a great investment normally, but since it’s free for today you have no excuse not to get it if you have a Mac or a Linux machine.

Essential CoverSutra Mods
I don’t know how many people use Coversutra (a companion to iTunes that allows you to search for songs from the menubar), but ever since buying a license a couple of months ago I cannot live without it. It has become as essential to me as Quicksilver, in a very short amount of time. So far, there are two things I don’t like about it:
1. It seems to have a few memory leaks, as it quickly eats up a few gigabytes of virtual memory.
2. By default, it is ugly as hell:
I decided that I had to fix it, so I went on a search for a better theme. I found this one, which is untitled but made by someone named Dustin on the MacThemes Forum. It makes the search bar much prettier (or at least, less likely to blind you):
In addition, the Left Side Mod is pretty handy as well, as it allows the text on the desktop to be left-justified, instead of centered:

MO:RE Put on Indefinite Hold
Once again, the Myst community has to watch the game we love be shut down. Due to financial issues, Cyan Worlds announced today that the MO:RE project has been put on indefinite hold, until their financial problems (indirectly related to the national financial problems) are settled.
On a side note, they mention that the iPhone version of Myst is still in production.

You Are Likely To Be Eaten
I just submitted my first submission to Threadless, the crowd-sourced tee shirt company. People submit designs to the website, and then more people score each design, and after a week of voting the shirts that score high enough become actual tee shirts. It’s a pretty cool system, and the site has developed its own unique style, which is pretty cool. Check them out, and please vote 5 on my design (and check the box that says you would buy it as a tee, if you would be so kind).
