Subscribers who don't receive the newsletter, due to stupid filters, may use a private link to download the newsletter in the text ( .txt ), html ( .html ) and the MS Word Doc ( .doc ) format in a zip file. I will upload the zip files to my archive site right after I send out the newsletter on Friday morning. If a subscriber doesn't receive the newsletter, by 9am ET, they can quickly download it, unzip it and peruse it offline. You can also read it online from there.
If you are a subscriber and don't know the private link you can email me for it. These zip files are less than 40K which is smaller than the 100K or more for the newsletter.

Clif Notes Newsletter, Feb 2007 http://freewarewiki.com/ClifNotes
"The COOLSITES Newsletter - find the coolest links here. This fella named Mark Donaldson has been sending out his lists of cool sites since 2003. I'd never heard of him before last week. One day I was Googling myself to see who was posting links to my newsletter, and I found his website. I guess he's mentioned my newsletter at least 3 times. I like the COOLSITES website too, but I think it could use some reformatting to make it a bit easier to read. What I really like is the content there. Mark must really read a lot of stuff on the web and he takes the best links then tells you about them." http://freewarewiki.com/CoolSitesNewsletter

Space Weather News for June 26, 2009
http://spaceweather.com
VOLCANIC VISTAS: On June 12th, astronauts onboard the International Space Station watched in amazement as Russia's Sarychev Peak volcano erupted directly beneath their spacecraft. The rare photo they took is a must-see. An enormous sulfur dioxide plume from the eruption is now circumnavigating the globe at northern latitudes, producing spectacular sunsets for international air travelers. Today's edition of http://spaceweather.com features 3D photos of the eruption from space, satellite movies of the sulfur dioxide plume, and a Mars-like view of the volcanic cloud over the Canadian Arctic.

DTV and Me
I'm on cable but I got my two government converter boxes. One I got, from Best Buy, for $20 and the other, mail order, for free. Right before the transition I hooked up one with a piece of wire for an antenna and got 13 decent signals from the local stations. The week before the transition I made a dual folded dipole antenna and got great signals from the locals and received decent signals from outlying stations for a total of 20. After the transition I got another station for 21 total.
The antenna is easy to make. I had some 12 guage wire and folded it for a UHF folded dipole about a foot long and the VHF folded dipole about 3 feet long. The lengths are not critical. Soldered it to a 300 to 75 ohm balun and viola. Mark.

A word about the free programs I list in my newsletters. I do not test these programs. I harvest these programs from reputable newsletters and other sources hoping that you can trust them but not all programs are trustworthy especially screensavers. A lot of programs will do the least harmful thing which is hijack your home page but the home page can easily be reset by you. After all Microsoft hijacks my home page every time I get their updates.

Even though I have religious and political opinions you won't find them here. I don't care what your politics, religion or your affiliations are. If you are a public figure and you are a hypocrite, stupid or have committed a crime I will "out you" here. I especially like to out the hypocrites because I think they have the potential to do the most harm to society. So don't blame me if you don't like your (insert affiliation here) showing up here. I'm an equal opportunity "outer". Plus it's fun for me.
I assume no responsibility for the websites and programs linked to on this page or on my websites. I try my best to ensure the sites and programs I list are safe, cool, fun, useful and totally free of cost, spyware, adware and profanity but I'm only human. As for content, if I wouldn't tell all my family and friends about them I wouldn't put them here.
