Creating an image stack with GIMP
The free and open source alternative to Photoshop is GIMP. I'm quite liking GIMP these days. Give it time, flush that Adobe hole in your pocket out of your system, and GIMP comes through with the goods. Here, I am using GIMP to create a simple image stack with layers. I use image stacks for slide show type resources.

Odeo
Odeo was a pretty cool web service where you could record audio to, and upload audio to - giving you a URL for audio blogging or podcasting. Lately though they've started adding ads in front of your audio :( if only all services could be like Blip!

Unyte is a little plugin for Skype that enables users to look at each other's screen. Known as application sharing it is a great way to communicate online.
Using Canstudio
Camstudio is a free and open source screenrecorder for Windows. I hope they bring one out for Linux soon. This is a demo of how to set up your Camstudio to record a region of the screen and to track your mouse. This is important if you are going to compress your video - rendering a full screen recording useless.
