Picks and tips

Tip of the week: Roku 2 for the living room. It's the Apple TV without any of the Apple lock-in. Brilliant.

 

Software pick of the week: Skype for iPad 

 

Audible pick of the week: Star Wars (Dramatized) by George Lucas, narrated by Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels. From the 1981 NPR broadcast. There are also versions for Empire and Jedi.

 

Audible pick of the week #2: Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly by Anthony Bourdain, narrated by Anthony Bourdain. Classic retrospective from a chef/traveler I really respect even though he's turned into a bit of an act on TV.
