Free audiobooks from Apple
Well, this is a great Christmas gift:
Apple Books has published six exclusive audiobooks this week, showcasing six great first listen titles read by celebrity narrators. The books themselves are all public domain works from Pride and Prejudice to Winnie the Pooh, recorded by Apple and released in the Book Store for free.
If you have an iDevice of some sort, these are well worth grabbing. The narrators include Karen Gillen (Doctor Who, Guardians of the Galaxy) and Kate Beckinsale. (Underworld series, etc).

I have a gimbal in my pocket. The miniaturisation of video continues, and the results are impressive.
I am ridiculously happy to finally have the time to get a post up on One Man & His Blog - even if it’s only month notes for Nov/Dec. Back on the blogging wagon…
To misquote Upton Sinclair:
It is difficult to get a man to understand the ethical problems with Facebook, when his salary depends on his not understanding them.
The man who pioneered modern tech journalism no longer feels he can justify using Facebook-owned products. This is quite something.
