I keep seeing articles online about how to cut costs during an economic downtown. The tips include suggestions like checking out books from the library instead of buying them, cutting coupons, taking advantage of free events, etc. Every time I see one of these articles, I think, “Is this really news?”
No, I’m not commenting on the amount of fluff that passes for news these days (I’ll get on that soap box in another post), but I find it shocking that these tips would be new ideas to people. I’ve been doing these things for years! But then again, I have an artist’s (some would say “Depression Era”) way of handling money: I never really know how much I’m going to have when, so I better save what I can now.
That having been said, I do fervently believe that no matter how small your budget, you get to have fun. With that in mind, I thought that from time to time I should post some free stuff or cheap stuff you might enjoy. Whether or not it’s fun, you be the judge. But I’ll let you keep your 2 cents to yourself on that one.

I’m a little in love with Raphael Saadiq. Ok, maybe more than a little. Especially after I downloaded his new music video from iTunes (for free!). The song is great and the video some throwback hipster fun.

Think the video courses are a great idea, but don’t have the time to sit in front of the computer to watch a video? Get it on your MP3 player and listen and learn on the go. These are available on iTunes at iTunesU.
