I have been bouncing an idea around in my head for a good long time, so I decided to do a little experiment. A trial balloon, as it were… the only question being, how y’all like it?
Yes, it is the first chapter of my first book. But narrated for those times when want to listen instead of read, I guess.

Thanks for the feedback 
@Bax: I think she might be a little out of my budget, which is currently zero
@Chatz: Used a basic freeware TTS program that uses the built in voices in Windows... I have started looking for a better software/voice combo though.
@Ricardo: Not going to do an audiobook per se, I think (famous last words)
I am toying with the idea of doing a YouTube channel... as of today I got over 200 posts tagged as "patent" on my blog, so at a rate of two a month, that is over seven years worth of material. Even if I just uses the ones I've put in my semi-curated selections (i.e.: in my two (so far) books), that is almost six years worth. Or half that, if I do weekly videos.

Today there is a second take on that experiment, building on feedback I got - both here and elsewhere - the first time around.
Different TTS-software. Shorter intro. Less static imagery. I still trying to work out the process of making videos like these, so I can do it smoothly and without too much frustration. Any additional feedback is still welcome.
Next draft may be more colourful. Or perhaps not. Depends on what people think
