The Hidden Things Audiobook kickstarter is funded, but despite my aversion to self-promotion, I feel compelled to mention it again, since we are 10 days from the end of the fundraising window and tantalizingly close to the Little Things short story collection/audiobook stretch goal

So, apologies, but: if you like audiobooks, serial-story podcasts, dragons in cornfields, gin-joint vampires, infinite forests in abandoned basements, or feel like supporting something energetically DRM-free, please check out this kickstarter page, or send it over to someone you know would love it.

Hidden Things Audiobook
A new Hidden Things audiobook. Available on as many platforms as possible, and airing as a DRM-free podcast in early 2014.

"If you’re buying a new laptop this holiday season, you should probably get a MacBook Air. Its build quality is best-in-breed, its 12-15 hour battery life (on the 13" model) absolutely embarrasses the competition, and its operating system is extremely reliable and polished. Plus, despite what you may have heard about Apple products, it's actually quite affordable compared to the competition."

I've spent 25 years either actively avoiding Macs, or considering them and deciding "they're good, but they're not so good it's worth paying 50% more."

The MacBook air is better than its competition in every aspect but the touchscreen (which I don't give a hot damn about), and is, unbelievably, either cheaper or the same price as any windows machine that even comes CLOSE to the same specs. I've gone from someone who simply didn't have time or budget for a Mac to someone who uses his mac in preference to any other machine in the house… in the space of a month and a half. Amazing machine.

The Laptops Worth Buying This Holiday Season

"Dwarven Chronicles"

The wise. What kind of tests does something like this apply to? I'd really like to rack up the uses I need on this thing so I can get rid of it :), but we can't seem to come up with tests where the bloody thing applies, so I welcome brainstorming.

Thoughts? Speak, my dwarven brethren.
