READIN started out as a place for me to keep track of what I am reading, and to learn (slowly, slowly) how to design a web site.

There has been some mission drift here and there, but in general that's still what it is. Some of the main things I write about here are reading books, listening to (and playing) music, and watching the movies. Also I write about the work I do with my hands and with my head; and of course about bringing up Sylvia.

The site is a bit of a work in progress. New features will come on-line now and then; and you will occasionally get error messages in place of the blog, for the forseeable future. Cut me some slack, I'm just doing it for fun! And if you see an error message you think I should know about, please drop me a line. READIN source code is PHP and CSS, and available on request, in case you want to see how it works.

See my reading list for what I'm interested in this year.

READIN has been visited approximately 236,737 times since October, 2007.

🦋 The wizards are all hopped up and they're ready to go

They're ready to go now -- here's some of what the new generation is listening to (well at least based on communication from my nephew Cole) -- Ginny is, a punk rocker!

Cole's a budding wizard rocker, he's learning to play bass.

What's of interest:

➪	Hilzoy points out that Jim Crow is not too distant in our past -- worthwhile to remember.
➪	Belle Waring on Stuff White People Like.
➪	Flowering Toilet is a blog for "exploring the intersection of music and memory."
➪	This looks like a really useful site, if you're interested in learning to speak Mandarin.
➪	Somebody commenting at (IIRC) Matt Yglesias' blog posted a link to this entertaining cover version. (If you're not familiar with the original Flea Market Montgomery commercial, by all means check it out.) Oddly, Gabe reports that the rest of Groves' recordings are in the "adult alternative contemporary christian" genre and make him feel creepy.
