I publish Interesting Internet Finds monthly in the Boca Raton Computer Society’s Boca Bits monthly newsletter, and share them through APCUG‘s PUSH program with other computer/technology user group newsletter editors.

Each month, I find many more things than I can use, so have decided to start publishing some of those that were not used for the newsletter on this blog most Fridays.

I do not go into much depth about each one, I just put them out there for you. Check them out for yourself and let me know what you think.

I think that ilovefreesoftware has found a great free image site. I like that attribution is already applied to the photo. They say these are for class or school use, but with the creative commons licensing should be OK for anyone to use for non-commercial purposes, (to be safe check the license first).
