An article on Tech Republic alerted me to this downloadable app which allows you to use the space available with your Gmail account for file storage. It's downloadable from SOFTPEDIA. After installation, GMail Drive will show up in My Computer like any other storage media. Uploaded files will show up in the list of emails in gmail with a subject line of GMAILFS: with the name of the file, so they will be accessible even if you are not on your home computer.

Scratch is a free downloadable program designed by MIT to interest kids in programming. It lets them easily create interactive games and programs by stacking "blocks" of code.

Ta-Da List is a free site which lets you create lists online which can be shared. This would work for, among other things, Christmas wish lists (it's coming!). Share with family members and they can check off purchases to avoid duplicates...and you don't have to create different lists to give to different people. Would also be useful for tasks to be completed by a number of people, with each one checking off those (s)he has taken care of.
