Thanks to my friends at Seattle’s Child Magazine for pointing out that this Saturday Smithsonian Magazine is hosting Free Musuem Day around the country.

In the Seattle area there are 34 museums participating, each granting two free admissions per family with the card that can be downloaded and printed here: http://microsite.smithsonianmag.com/museumday/. This is a nationwide event, so take a look at the site to find out about museums participating where you are.

Saving/Creating Money While Reducing E-Waste

I don’t know if you’ve seen the art exhibit about e-waste recently, but it’s shocking how many electronic gadgets we “consume” worldwide in the form of mobile phones, batteries, cameras, etc. Some of these have lived beyond their usefulness. I have on my desk, and old mobile phone/PDA and a digital camera that no longer works, and I went looking for a savvy way to recycle them.

I found Gazelle, which will PAY ME for the gadgets, and also, they’ll manage the shipping, and even send me a box. (So I do NOTHING, Literally).

Oh, and I get $53 (varies depending on the make/model of your equipment. Give it a try–the link is below.
