Free Stuff

I have posted here a few times with suggestions for different software to do different things. Mostly, I prefer a free alternative if it does the things I expect it to do.
These days, I check Gizmo's Tech Support Alert. They list freeware by category, then offer reasons why they prefer each program.

It might seem too good to be true, but there are people out there building software for fun. Some of it is better than the commercial alternatives. If you've been looking for the best, free photo editing software, anti-virus, audio editor, firewall, or whatever, check out Gizmo's site.

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.
