I'd love to have an audio version of these.

  How do you plan to have the audio version of the code snippets? Some things are just not meant to be in audio.

    True. Listening to 4-Hour Work Week now and the msnbc article paths are killing me..."h t t p colon forward slash forward slash m s n b c..." + guids galor, haha. So they'd definitely need to weed out unreadable portions, but I think I would still find a lot of value in it. :)

    In college I had a side gig for a blind EE student who could not get a particular electronics book in Braille. So I would read chapters onto cassette tapes (yeah, '80s!) for him to listen to. There were many equations and such. I also had a stack of semi-soft plastic sheets and a rubber-padded clipboard; drawing on the sheets with the rubber underneath allowed for finger-parsable drawings. Whether to attempt to an audible version of an equation versus making a drawing was the big decision. It was faster if I could read an equation, but I wasn't always sure I was getting it quite right. OTOH, having a large stack of "etchings" was not so good either, and the details had to be marked well enough to feel. I asked the guy once how he could "see" computer screens; he said there was a device that had a matrix of a bazillion pins that was used to create an image of the screen for him to run his fingers over.
