DIY: The $15 Monitor Fix
Wednesday, March 17th Written by Amber Bouman - Crafty & CashlessOh, my poor suffering laptop. In the five years I’ve owned it I’ve drown it in Oolong, infected it with viruses, used it, abused it and neglected it like a guy who followed me home from a bar. However, unlike that guy, I still need to use my laptop. When my monitor started to give ... Read More →
FREE Homemade Brooklyn Pop-Up Shop
Sunday, March 14th Written by Laura S - Spendthrift ScribeI’m sure this pop-up shop trend pisses off landlords, but until this whole economy thing sorts itself out, I fully welcome new and inventive ways to use empty storefronts. I wrote last month about Kill Devil Hill in Greenpoint turning into a bakery boutique and now they’re showing you a little love in return with ... Read More →
Reasons to Raise Chickens in Your Backyard
Saturday, March 13th Written by Rebecca Pederson - Cheap DateThere’s this relatively new phenomenon happening right now called the Urban Farming Movement. (Check it out: even T.I. supports it!)

Wednesday, March 10th Written by Broke-Ass Stuart - Editor In CheapRemember when your dad got married for the third time and left you to watch his place while he went to the Bahamas for his honeymoon?

Reading for Fun: Not Just for Dorks Anymore
Sunday, March 7th Written by Alison Lambert - Half Price HeadlinerIf there is one thing I learned from my days of watching Levar Burton blow my little mind with the wonderful world of books, is that reading is spelled F-U-N. Twenty years of required reading and book reports undid some of his teachings, but in my current hardcore Broke-Ass state of being I am ... Read More →
FREE Disposable Filmmaking Workshop
Saturday, March 6th Written by Alison Lambert - Half Price HeadlinerThe only time I’ve ever attempted to make a film/movie/moving picture, was my senior year of college, shooting a fake condom commercial for a group project (best class EVER). I spent four hours editing a bunch of overexposed footage and teaching myself how to use iMovie, the whole time cursing my “team members” who had ... Read More →
Spring Cleaning: You’re Not Using That Crap Anyway
Friday, March 5th Written by Andrew Dalton - Aggressive PanhandlerMoving sucks. Moving to a better apartment is always great, but the process is usually a huge pain in the ass. Pretty much the only other good thing about it is that you usually end up finding a bunch of shit you forgot you even had. Sometimes this works out great, like you find an ... Read More →
How to Get FREE Concert Tickets for “Members of the Press”
Friday, February 26th Written by Andrew Dalton - Aggressive PanhandlerThe Internet is a really great thing. I think it’s safe to say all of us here know that. I mean, look how much FREE stuff it’s gotten you over the years. From your dorm room days of downloading old Metallica albums one track at a time on Napster to some free booze around the ...

Earn Your Way to FREE Classes at the Crucible in Oakland
Thursday, February 25th Written by Andrew Dalton - Aggressive PanhandlerPeople who like Oakland seem to like it because they think it has a certain grit that the wine-and-cheese-shop-lined streets of San Francisco are be missing. Personally, I’m not a big fan of Oaktown and I cannot claim to be very Oaklandish, but every now and then there’s an event going on over there that ... Read More →
