Brownie T. Cow's Favorites
Part 2: Free Stuff!




Brownie T. Cow's Favorites
Part 2:Free Stuff!

Hey there!

It’s me, Brownie T. Cow with another installment of my favorite links.  Cool places to visit when you want to surf the web and learn something too!

Let’s get started...

Free E-Books!
Project Gutenberg has over 40,000 E-books that you can download and read for free on Kindles and other devices.  Project Gutenberg is staffed by volunteers who do all the page scanning, converting and proofreading.  The books cover every subject imaginable.  I found five about cows!  Moo!
Project Gutenberg:  http://www.gutenberg.org/


Free Audio Books!
On the other side of the e-book world is Librivox, another all-volunteer organization.  Librivox volunteers record audio books in mp3 format that you can download and listen to on any mp3-compatible device.  Or, you can do what we do, and burn them onto CD and listen in the barn.  Fourteen versions of Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Cow!


Free Videos and Music!
Check out the Internet Archives.  You’ll find a ton of stuff that’s in the public domain.  Old movies, historical footage, and fan recordings of concerts by great artists and top groups like the Grateful Dead, Smashing Pumpkins, and my personal favorite – the COWboy Junkies!
The Internet Archive:  www.archive.org


That ought to keep you chewing cud for a while!  Thanks for reading, and let us know what you think.   (Link to us too!)  More to come next week.

Love,

Brownie T. Cow
