Books on iPod aren't Audible (until iPod software update, set for August). On Wednesday I noted that Audible.com audio content playable on iPod, a possibility that motivated me to sign up as an Audible.com customer.

iTunes3 plays my new Audible books just fine, but when I try to sync iTunes3 to my April 2002 iPod, I get this error concerning the Audible "songs": Some of the songs in the iTunes music library were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on an iPod.

D'oh--I thought at first this was because I'm sync'ing via a Newer Firewire2Go CardBus card in my otherwise Firewire-less Lombard PowerBook (the CardBus Firewire card works fine in general but doesn't supply power).

Finally I see on Apple's site that it's simpler than that: "Audible support requires iPod 1.2 software, which will be available in August."

Leave the light on for Googlebot. In commenting on his own Accessibility tip 22: Use real headers at Delacour, Mark Pilgrim says something interesting,

"Making your site accessible is one of the cheapest things you can do to boost [Google] PageRank. Remember, Googlebot is a blind user who reads the entire Internet every month. If Googlebot can't read it, it may as well not exist."
