Free NBA Radio


I'm a huge basketball fan. My favorite team is the LA Lakers or "Lakeshow" as some Laker fans like to call them. For this year, the NBA Audio League Pass is free. Just register and you can listen to every single NBA game live.

Free Software

Here's a list of my favorite free programs:

Crap Cleaner
This cleans up your hard drive. Deletes useless files and can clean your registry as well. Most of the time when you uninstall a program, there will be remaining "crap" to clean. When installing, do not install the Yahoo toolbar.

Disk Defragmenter by Auslogics.
This will defragment your hard drive in minutes and speed up your computer. Who doesn't want more speed?

Firewall by Comodo
This firewall was highly rated by PC Magazine. It's much better than the Windows firewall.

Anti-virus by Avast
This program works better than most because you can scan your computer before Windows boots up with the "boot time scan." Must register to get the registration code. Duh!

Audacity
This is a great audio editor. I often use this to edit mp3 files, etc. You will need the lame audio decoder as well. Just google "lame encoder.dll"

Foxit Reader
I don't like large programs that take a lot of space on my hard drive. Adobe Reader takes up way too much space. Foxit Reader is a small file only about 2mb.

Again, I love small software. If you download torrent files, this is the one for you. It's less than 1mb. Only 214kb to be exact. =)

If you're an American citizen, you must file income taxes regardless of where you live, breath, earn money, or sleep. I've been using TaxAct because it's user-friendly, quick, and painless.

This is a great little video editing program.

That's it for now. What's your favorite free program?








Free Education

Stanford eliminates tuition for some students

Students whose families make less than $100,000 will attend school free; about a third of students will be helped.

PALO ALTO, Calif. (AP) -- Attending Stanford University next year will be a lot more affordable for some undergraduate students.

The university said Wednesday it plans to eliminate tuition for students with annual family incomes totaling less than $100,000. It also will pay most room and board for students with families making less than $60,000.

Financial aid director Karen Cooper says the move comes as middle-income parents express concern about paying for a Stanford education.

Stanford tuition is expected to rise to $36,000 in the fall. Room and board will cost about $11,000. About a third of the university's 6,700 undergraduates are expected to qualify for the tuition break.
