Yay For Free Stuff!
After noticing how good the practice of being thankful feels, I figured I should do more of that. So here are some free things I’m thankful for today that y’all may enjoy. Figure I might as well spread some link love while I’m being thankful 
- GrooveShark.com – Oh, my god I LOVE listening to this free music site while I work. The interface took me a little bit to figure out, but it works very well once you do. You can search for music, make your own playlists, etc. When it’s playing you can turn on the autoplay feature and it will fill up the queue with similar songs. So very cool.
- Naomi at IttyBiz often has useful and colourful advice on marketing for small businesses. This week she’s begun a free series on how to make money online, starting with “Why we’re broke and how to fix it“.
- Speaking of making money online, I just discovered E-Junkie’s Fat Free Shopping Cart after trying out (and being impressed by) their cheap Shopping Cart solution. Oh, and if you’re signing up for e-junkie, search the web for discount codes; I found one for about 100 days free.
- Ma.gnolia online bookmarks – When I watch people trying to find links in their browser bookmarks, I wonder how I ever did without online bookmarks. I obsessively save things that I find in Ma.gnolia and love that I can search them later from anywhere. It’s like outsourcing part of your brain!
- Freecycling is a great way to get to know folks in your neighbourhood while recycling things. You can list items you don’t need and others come take them off of your hands. Or vice versa. Art and construction supplies, clothes, books, you name it, you’ll see it posted to the list sooner or later.
- Free eye-candy: Beautiful, wonderful Daily Dose of Imagery like the Yellow Buses and this Reader Behind Glass. And a couple of lovely slide shows from the Sydney Morning Herald – one on wisdom and another on sculpture by the sea.
- And just about every day I’m thankful for WordPress, the plugins people release for it, and other open source software that makes my life easier.
- UPDATE: I knew I was forgetting one! If you’re a webdesigner, you may find crossbrowsertesting.com *very* handy.
How about you? What’s on your list?
