Another brief roundup: cheap ebooks, cool indy games, and a neat graphics library

This is another post mostly for myself so I don’t lose track of some interesting looking things.


First up, cheap $1 ebooks from Orbit. It looks like this publisher is selling one ebook per month at $1, which is a deal that you can not pass up, even if the books are DRM-encumbered. I’m seriously considering buying at least the first two books, The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks, and Ian M. Banks’ Use of Weapons, even though I can’t DRMd books on my OLPC with FBReader.


I highly recommend Use of Weapons by Ian M. Banks, but you should probably wait until next month to pick it up for $1. I have the paperback sitting right in front of me and I’m still going to buy the ebook.

Next, an interesting looking programming language for visualization and graphics. I wish I had more time to look into stuff like that.


Finally, Game Tunnel’s list of 2008 best indy games – I want to check these out when I have more time.
