'Minecraft' gets its own official monthly swag box
Monthly subscription boxes are a curious idea: subscribers pay a fee to receive things like t-shirts, toys, merchandise, makeup or food that they have no choice over. Companies like Loot Crate, Fancy, Graze and Dollar Shave Club all utilise the model, but there's a new entrant on the scene: Mojang. That's right, Minecraft now has its own swag box.
Breakfast Topic: How do you show your WoW?
Wandering around outside of Azeroth, in the so-called real world, you'll see a lot of World of Warcraft players. Some you'll spot with class t-shirts, others drive cars with alliance or horde window stickers (or even custom license plates), some may wear WoW-themed jewelry, and some even have WoW tattoos. But not everyone feels the need to show off their WoW fandom in an obvious way -- or even at all. So what about you, readers? Do you have a WoW-themed t-shirt collection so you always have the right shirt for the occasion? Or is there some subtler way you like to show off your WoW love? %Gallery-20183%
Jumsoft expands free Goodies with new Keynote, Numbers, and Sandvox content
After spending your hard-earned money on new iPads, iPhones, and other great hardware from Apple, wouldn't it be nice to get something of value for free? That's the concept behind Jumsoft's Goodies, which include art and templates for a number of Mac applications. The Lithuania-based developer has recently expanded the Goodies bundle with five Web site designs for Karelia Software's Sandvox application, a set of 500 photos and images to use in Keynote presentations, and nine templates for Numbers. The Sandvox templates each include ten different page types, everything from a simple rich text page to a detailed site map. Numbers users get nine templates ranging from a dinner planner to a media advertising analyzer, while fans of Keynote will be pleased with 500 textured background photos and still-life images. Those photos and images are also useful in Pages, PowerPoint, or any other situation where professional illustrations are required. You can download the new Goodies and check out the older ones here. Free stuff is always appreciated -- what are your favorite places to get legal free software, templates, and images? Let us know in the comments.
