Yes, it's true.  Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby, the illustrated
manual which pays no mind to the prevailing notions of writing computer
lit, has a collectible set of mp3s.  Each song corresponds to a
chapter in the book.  You can listen while you read.  Or while you
eat.  Or even while you flex.

Parts I to VIII are here: <http://poignantguide.net/sdtrk/>

Thank you to Geoffrey Grossenbach, who continued to play my songs on
the Rails Podcast even when it wasn't the professional thing to do.
These songs are all licensed under the same terms as the book, so at
least I saved that guy some serious tuppence.

What is the reason for a soundtrack?

 * Well, music is essential for utmost poignancy, is it not??
 * Because computer books should NOT.  And so.
 * My clarinet needs a life too, let's not forget.

If I've wasted your time, then I'm sorry, geez, go find something
handy to do pronto!
