Get it while it's hot. iTunes is offering a free download of John Hodgman's audiobook, "The Areas of My Expertise" until Christmas. You may recognize Hodgman as the "PC Guy" from Apple's recent round of commercials, or from his appearances on The Daily Show.
The book is described as, "a brilliant and hilarious compendium of handy reference tables, fascinating trivia, and sage wisdom on all topics large and small... a different kind of handy desk reference, one in which all of the historical oddities and amazing true facts are sifted through the singular, illuminating imagination of John Hodgman, which is the nice way of saying: He made it all up."
Hodgman is one of those writer/performers who just dripps funny from every single pore on his body. If you can make it through five minutes of Hodgman's book without laughing, you should really make an appointment and have yourself checked out.

1. Watch out, it says free but I was just charged $18.95 for it. It is listed on the "FREE ON iTUNES" page but it says BUY BOOK instead of GET BOOK like the others. Does Apple really need to trick people into buying their products?
