There are brilliant free things out there on the web. High end software, downloads, books, movies, music, radio shows, games, pictures, comics and more. You just have to go there and get it.
Free Stuff
Libraries
Do a little digging for the fabulous gems these sites are hiding.
- archive.org
- The only difficulty is trying to navigate the millions of books, movies, recordings, and software titles. But if you dig just a little, you can uncover some fascinating treasures. I got hooked on Dragnet years ago through this site.
- Armorgames
- Insane collection of online flash games.
- High risk of addiction.
- British Library Catalogue of Illuminated Manuscripts
- Scanned pages from illuminated manuscripts
- Their collection has a very effective keyword search. It's a great curiosity.
- Comic Book Plus
- A massive collection of comic books and comic strips in the public domain.
- Comic Strip Library
- Krazy Kat, Little Nemo in Slumberland, Dream of the Rarebit Fiend

Software
Amazing software to help you do amazing things.
- AVG Antivirus Software
- Protect your computer and yourself from the blue screen of death.
- Blender
- 3-D modeling software
- I am still amazed that this is free. It is revolutionary.
- Inkscape
- Illustrator is expensive. Inkscape is free.
- Krita
- Digital raster painting software.
- Ldraw
- Ldraw gives you a library of 3D models of Lego parts.
- But that's not the best part. There is a plugin for Blender that allows you to import the 3D models and use them in your renders or work them into printable files.
- Don't expect to get self-printed Legos. Lego has spent a half a century figuring out how to do it right. But it does open some opportunities for creative printing.
