Since Google bought Picasa, they’ve released it for free — if you need a Windows tool to organize your image collection, arrange albums, create slideshows or do basic image cleanup and editing, Picasa is tough to beat, and you can’t argue with the new price.

Free Chill-OutHere's a double-treat for fans of chill-out, trip-hop, lounge & related music... First up, there's Theta States - Bedroom Music for Bedroom People -- a collection of cd-length MP3 mixes of down-tempo beats, abstract underground hip-hop, and various other tasty items. Around 21 hours worth of material, ready-to-download. So far, the ones I've listened to seem very listen-able, and will be much appreciated in my collection. I only wish they'd have left the individual cuts separate and tied them together with playlists, so that they could be further sliced and diced, but it's all free, which makes it tough to argue about it. (via del.icio.us) Next, MeFi also picked up "Bedroom Music" (chicken, egg, who knows?) and the discussion included...
Free SSH Clients for Pocket PCeBCVG has a write-up on a pair of free SSH clients for Windows Mobile 2003. One is a “mini” version of PuTTY (PocketPuTTY), while the other (OpenSSH CE)is apparently a port of the BSD SSH client. The latter is more full-featured, but takes some hacking to install.

Libraries - free, cheap or abusedYou can find a collection of free technical books online at FreeTechBooks Telltale Weekly is on a mission to record, produce and sell quality audio recordings of public domain material—at a very reasonable price in order to cover a bit of overhead. How reasonable? How’s a quarter strike you? You can’t buy everything for a quarter, but it’s all still damn cheap, and available in MP3, AAC, or Ogg Vorbis formats. Meanwhile, the RIAA continues to show no class whatsover in their commitment to donate CDs to public libraries to settle a price fixing lawsuit. For example Wisconsin libraries are reporting that very few of the 105,000 CDs they’ve received thus far are useful. Unless, of course, you really have...
