GPS for OpenStreetMap
Submitted by amillar on Tue, 2008-03-11 15:53.I bought a cheap GPS on EBay. I got a Palm Vx with a Magellan GPS Companion attachment for ten dollars. By PDA standards the Palm Vx is completely obsolete, but it works fine as a GPS data logger.

Oxford Helps for the Study of the Bible
Submitted by amillar on Tue, 2004-10-19 15:50.Oxford Helps for the Study of the Bible is a reference work from the late 1800s on the Bible. I scanned it and contributed it to the Christian Classics Ethereal Library.
You can help edit and proofread it.
Recording FM Radio
Submitted by amillar on Tue, 2004-10-19 15:41.A good audio source is of course your local radio stations. Sometimes, however, I want to listen to shows at a time other than when they are broadcast.
Using an FM radio tuner on the computer, you can capture the audio from the radio signal and save it to a sound file, such as MP3.
I'm using the DLink DSB-R100 tuner. It is a small FM radio which connects to the PC using USB for the tuning commands and the sound card's line-in connector for the audio.

Everyone loves free stuff. I've developed an interest in getting free material on the Internet, in particular audio recordings (music and speech) and the text contents of books.
