"81 Jokes For The ZX81" - A book by Rob Manuel - The thing about running B3ta is none of it is sane, you know that right? Running this website for 25 years isn't the actions of someone who runs projects rationally. And it's not rational to be seized by the idea of making a joke book with this title, and then illustrating it myself, the hard way, by not cheating with AI, or compositing, and just placing char after char onto a grid to make pictures. Do buy it as really I've put so much work into it and I do think it's pretty entertaining, and I've even showed it around to notable people (read on the link) and bullied them into agree it's quite fun too. Twenty quid. Perfect for Christmas and it really is, coz you can read it in about 30 mins, pissed, and the font is big enough for eyesight that cares about things like ZX81s.

Thanks to Brant from 'shortrundesign' who's bought an advert in this week's b3ta newsletter to promote his hoodie - he's designed to be the most practical hoodie you've ever owned. Has zippable, secret pocket, anti bunching sleeves, and a hood designed to stay up if you want it to stay up. He sent us two and genuinely we've used it a lot but also our 21 y/o son has not been out of it for about a month. Discount code - b3ta20 - gives £20 off and free UK shipping. Buy your hoodie now.
