Vintage Net Radio
All you need is an Internet connection and a trusty sound card to hear a great selection of free vintage music on Radio Dismuke, which is a 24-hour Internet Radio that plays popular music and jazz from the 1920s and 1930s. Choose from one of the live streams to hear a great mix of crooners, jazz bands from Harlem, swing, big band music, Charlestons, and much more. (To avoid getting involved in writing to Congress to support a proposed law, just click on the second radio in the listing. It will take you directly to the music.) http://radiodismuke.com/

Astronomy Picture of the Day
Discover the cosmos. Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured by this NASA website, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html
Where’s George?
This is fun. I received a dollar bill with this site stamped on it, and added information to the site. The listing before mine was in Indiana, so it had traveled pretty far to get to Florida, where I received it. All you need do is enter identification on a US dollar bill in your possession and your zip code at this website, and you can check back later to find out where your dollar bill turns up after you spend it. www.wheresgeorge.com
Game Giveaway of the Day
This is a good site to visit if you want to fill up your hard drive! They give away a free game every day. Since I’m not much on action games, I can take it or leave it, but I have gotten fancy versions of Tetris and Mahjong. My granddaughter likes a lot of them, and we just remove them if she doesn’t. Be sure to read the instructions about activation, or you’ll end up with a 30-day demo. I’ve had no problems with any of these, except one that would load only in a black-and-white sketch mode. I’ve gotten to the point that I read the comments about the game before I decide to download. Your kids/grandkids will probably be delighted with it. http://game.giveawayoftheday.com
