Help (Not That You Needed It)

My wife says I'm too helpful but I really only try to expose people to the way I would do things. It's my version of the Golden Rule. In that regard, I'd want people to let me know when they have discovered new software that is free and works well. Here are some lists of some such stuff - they cover a LOT of ground:

1. 100 Free/Open Source Software applications
2. The Simple Dollar Essential 30 List
3. 46 Best-Ever Freeware Solutions

You can find replacements for just about any Windows application on these lists. I've tried a number of them and have listed my favorites in past posts. Let me know what you use! Here are some of my favorite things. These too.

My wife survives on open source/freeware stuff at work. Or so she tells me.

Why Do I Do This?

I was originally inspired by the Web log posted on the site for Propellerhead Software. They developed a cool 808 emulator which eventually morphed into an entire digital audio workstation package (Reason). Those early posts documented their development process and gave a human insight into their struggles. It was cool. So, I bought some hosted space and figured out FrontPage to put a rudimentary site together. My goal was to connect my family, but then realized this could be a great way for me to keep track of happenings over time. Eventually, the manual, HTML journal gave way to this Blogger setup - much easier to deal with, and not bound to one computer.

Ultimately, this is more about nothing than an episode of Seinfeld, but I appreciate that you've read this far. Really.
