Free and cheap(er)

A great website to find alternative software to the mainstream, AlternativeTo helps you find free software equivalents to paid, expensive ones.

Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on Microsoft Project or downloading an illegal copy, why not use OpenProj?

If you need a sound editor (cutting and splicing sounds together), there is no better software out there that is free, than Audacity. It takes some time to figure out, but it's a great piece of software that I love using, especially if blending sounds together for a video.

So, I'm a big fan of SketchUp, and just announced, they have a $100 coupon until June 19th. Of course, it's a bit convoluted in the hoops you have to jump through in order to find the discount code, but it's a 20% savings off the $495 regular price, and future updates are only $95.
