Bandcamp picks continue! This month we have a bunch of electronic along with a sweet taste of Yemen to end it all with.
Let’s get started!
Things I read in Week 47 of 2018
Witches, the Indiepocalypse Panic and the concept of doing all the things yourself. I especially recommend the Outline article about the witch capital of Norway.

Things I read in Week 46 of 2018
This week we have a first, a recommendation that is not an online article. A book, how exciting! Anyways, I highly recommend Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler, go borrow a copy from your local library system.
As for online articles, I recommend reading the Triple D Facebook article. Make sure you’ve got a snack for that, its a long one.

The Mark Zuckerberg profile is the thing to read from this list if you are going to read anything, a long but interesting read. Other than that, Apple continues to dominate the tech product news cycle for now so have a couple more reviews. These are probably the last of them this year.
- Can Mark Zuckerberg Fix Facebook Before It Breaks Democracy? by Evan Osnos
- The 2018 iPad Pros by John Gruber
- The 2017 Mac Mini by Marco Arment
Things I read in Week 44 of 2018
A few longform pieces this week, I especially recommend the oral history of the development process of the first Assassin’s Creed, a game that made me fall in love with open world games! The timing is apt as well, I am currently playing through Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, the latest AC game set in Ancient Greece, and I am enjoying it quite a bit!
