Can you ever get enough video? Whether you get your fix from TV, YouTube, or the latest video podcast, you just can't get enough of that stuff. Maybe it's time to check out a video player that takes it all as seriously as you do.

Miro is a free high-definition video player. It can play just about any video format you want to throw at it. It's even got a built-in BitTorrent client that will keep an eye on your favorite shows for you, downloading the newest episode for you so you'll always be ready to watch. In addition, it gives you access to tons of content—over 6,000 TV shows and podcasts at last count.

Rather than relying on streaming video, Miro actually downloads files to your local drive. That means that you can watch your shows even when you're offline, like on a plane or in that really boring meeting.

Miro is free, open source software. It's available for Windows (XP or later), Mac (OS X 10.4 and higher), and many Linux systems.

Have you ever downloaded a deck of cards? Neither have we, but that's all about to change. With SVG-cards, you can do just that. Well, almost at least.

SVG-cards is a huge image that, when you print it out and chop it up, will give you a deck of cards. As the name suggests, this image is in SVG—scalable vector graphics—format. Unlike bitmapped image files, SVG are vector graphics. This means that you can resize them without making them all nasty looking, with jagged pixelation and all. It includes the faces of all the cards of a standard deck of 52 playing cards, as well as a couple of Jokers, and a design for the back as well.

You can choose to print them out as they come onto paper or card stock, or you might scale them down, or up, to make them into a size that works better for you. If you like the designs, you can also do more exotic things like put them on T-shirts as well.

SVG-cards are free to download.

Holidays are a wonderful time: friends, family, celebration, and traditions. Often we associate these primarily with Christmas. But what about the other big days in the year? There's a certain Jolly Fat Man in a red suit who gets all the publicity, but what about that Large Springtime Rodent*, The Easter Bunny? Easter's a big deal too, and it deserves its fair share of attention.

Free Easter Printables can help you get off to a good start with your Easter celebration. They've got an "in" with the Easter Bunny, you know. You can even download a letter from The Easter Bunny from their site. There's a whole collection of letters, ranging from your garden variety letter, to special ones for Easter morning, letters addressed specifically to a boy or girl, and even one specially written for the grown-ups.

Along with those holiday letters, Free Easter Printables has a whole collection of Easter Coloring Pages. You can grab more pictures of Easter Eggs here than you can shake an Easter Basket at–a great way to keep the little ones entertained until the big day.

FreeEasterPrintables.com is a free service.

* Yes, we know that rabbits are members of the order Lagomorpha and not Rodentia, but work with us here, OK?

Whether you're planning a fancy dinner party or just a casual get-together, it always adds a touch of elegance when you put out placecards on your table.

Printable Placecards has dozens of different placecard designs to choose from. There are basic placecards for informal occasions, or fancy placecards for weddings and baby showers. Birthday placecards add to the festive feel of the occasion. There's even a Mardi Gras placecard—laissez les bon temps rouler!

Printable Placecards are available as a free download. You'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader, or another app that can print PDF files. Print them out, trim them—there are four placecards on each sheet—write your guests' names on them and it's time for dinner (or tea or whatever your occasion may be). There are also customizable versions of placecards available for just $5.

Planning a big party? Hosting the social event of the season? That's all well and good, but if you don't have any guests, it doesn't really mean too much. If you want guests, you need to invite them. One of the easiest—and cheapest—ways to invite anybody to your important event is to grab a free Printable Invitation.

You can grab Printable Invitations for all different kinds of events, from birthday parties, to holiday events, to milestone celebrations, like weddings and graduations. With over a hundred different designs to choose from, you're sure to find just the right invitation. You just download them and print them on plain paper, fold them up, write your message, and you're good to go. They're available in two different sizes, so you can send a little invitation (maybe for a little event) or a larger one to really grab everybody's attention.

Printable Invitations are available for free download in PDF format, so you'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader to print them out. If you don't mind spending a few bucks, all of the invitation designs are also available in Microsoft Word DOC format, so you can edit the cards—add the recipient's name or include directions to your event.

Did you ever wake up at oh-dark-thirty and remember that you needed to get a card for your mom, dad, spouse, kid, or other important person in your life? Birthday, anniversary, Arbor Day—they're all important occasions and they all call for a card. And it's amazing how few Hallmark shops are open at that time of day.

Or suppose it's the middle of the day, and you remember this same thing. Now there's oodles of stores open, but who really wants to spend and arm and a leg for a greeting card? Either way, the perfect solution would be a card shop that's open 24 hours a day, and doesn't break the bank when you just need a card.

Free Printable Greeting Cards may be just the place you're looking for. They're always open, and their cards are always free. You can choose from dozens and dozens of greeting cards: cards for birthdays, anniversaries, graduation, and more. For a few dollars, you can even grab customizable versions, where you can add your own message. And Hallmark doesn't let you customize your card at any price.

Free Printable Greeting Cards are free to download. You'll need a copy of Adobe's Acrobat Reader to print them out.
