The 2008 MacMod Mod of the Year has been announced, and a Pre-AGP Mac running Leopard has been declared the winner.
While not quite as visually impressive as the other entries, which included a TiN’ed iPhone, a Cube with liquid cooling, a Mac made of Legos, and even a Mac shoved inside of an Xbox 360, the judges felt that James Little’s (aka jimjamyahauk’s) milestone of being the first person to get Leopard to run (or even boot!) on any pre-AGP Mac was definitely worthy of the prize.
Be sure to check out the site for more details on each of the entries, including build photos and detailed specs and info.

Last Friday, I held a contest for a new description of DidntYouHear.com, and the submissions were fantastic!
Unfortunately, since DYH isn’t exactly pulling in the big bucks yet, I can’t give everyone a prize, and I have to pick a winner.
Thus, I’d like to say congratulations to evilgregg for coming up with the winning description:
“The lazy man’s guide to the coolest stuff on the planet.”
It’s short and sweet, and does a pretty good job of describing exactly what this site is all about. Thanks Gregg!
To everyone else who participated, I’d just like to say thanks for contributing, and I’m sorry I can’t give you all a prize, since you definitely deserve one.

To see what true Photoshop masters can do with a lot of time and even more motivation, check out the winners of the third round of Crestock’s Photoshop Contest.
The prize was a MacBook Pro, and the source material was rather varied, so the results are simply astounding.
Makes me want to brush up on my lasso skills…

Are you a Photoshop whiz who needs a new computer?
How about a new Mac Pro with dual 30” Cindma Displays?
Got your interest?
The check out Crestock’s Photoshop Contest 2007 for your chance to win, fame, fortune, and a whole lotta Mac.
There are four rounds in total, and each round’s prize is better than the last. There’s a pair of iPods for round one, a 13” MacBook for round two, a 15” MacBook Pro for round three, and the Mac Pro and Cinema Displays combo for round four.
For each round, Crestock will supply a set of source photos from their image library. Your entry must be based on one or several of those photos, though you can do with them what you like. The main requirement is that one or more of the source images can be recognized as a central part of your design. Then, there’s voting (40% public, 60% judges) and a winner is announced.
Want some help?
“The winning entry will have incredible visual impact and exhibit fantastic creativity and technical skill, perhaps also with a twist of humor. Amaze us or make us laugh – or both. It’s up to you and your skills, creativity and imagination, but whatever you do, don’t miss out on the action!”
Sounds like good advice to me.
