Geosonification

The sonification of geological, geophysical, or planetary data—seismic waves, atmospheric pressure, magnetic field fluctuations, or the orbital characteristics of asteroids. It lets us "hear" earthquakes before they happen (in precursor signals), listen to the solar wind battering a planet's magnetosphere, or experience the gravitational dance of celestial bodies.
Geosonification Example: NASA geosonifies the data from the InSight lander's seismometer on Mars. The subtle rumblings of "Marsquakes" are sped up and pitched into the human hearing range, allowing scientists and the public to literally listen to the red planet's interior groaning and cracking, a direct acoustic connection to another world.

de-goonification 

To remove any display or hint of goon like behaviour from ones sight, life, social network site etc
If you ever think after you've posted something on facebook "hmmm that was a bit goonish of me" then you need be worried about being involved in de-goonification.
I was looking through my news feed and some people's statuses have really made me consider starting a de-goonification process on my page

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.
