Khan Academy
With all the good reviews I've heard about this site, I'm surprised that I don't already have it down. Khan Academy has videos on math, science, and some other topics.

Learning Language with LiveMocha
LiveMocha - learn to speak a foreign language by conversing with native speakers. I believe some parts are free and some parts require payment. Looked interesting though; it's like having audio "pen-pals".

Ancient Egypt
The British Museum has a lovely site on ancient Egypt. This is also courtesy of someone from the Secular Homeschooler's e-list; I'm getting so much good stuff from there that I should maybe rename this blog. :)

Free audio books
...at BooksShouldBeFree.com - thanks again to someone on Secular Homeschoolers elist.
