How to get free stuff on the internet. Well, free text like electronic books, and free audio. See the
Introduction.
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.

I've recently come across two interesting projects and web sites:
openaerialmap.org and
openstreetmap.org. These two projects are efforts to collect and share freely-available map information.

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.

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.

There is now an excellent book on public domain material in the Internet age titled
The Public Domain: How to Find and Use Copyright-Free Writings, Music, Art & More by Stephen Fishman. I found this book to be very enlightening on the topic of copyright and the nuances there can be.

Here is an interesting story called The Right To Read which portrays the future of books, if the MPAA and RIAA have their choice in the matter.
