I'm using this book to do it and it's a blast.

"Captain's Log, Stardate 41986.0. We have emerged from the transdimensional vortex to find ourselves in a most peculiar situation. It is as if reality has been rendered down to a resolution no bigger than 160 by 144. We also seem to be able to perceive only five... no, correction, four colours."

So, remember to celebrate Public Domain Day by blowing raspberries at Disney, writing Sherlock Holmes fanfic, downloading free versions of the Great Gatsby and saying "soon..." to the Gershwin estate.
