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.

🦋 Milestones

Sylvia is getting bigger and more independent... Yesterday evening she and Kaydi (who spent the night at our house) walked without adult accompaniment to the playground, a distance of about ¾ mile and which involves crossing several minor streets and one moderately busy one. This is (I believe) Sylvia's first time taking such a walk without a grown-up. They wanted to take Pixie along but we will see about that next time. They met some young kids there named Dahlia and Shay, and claimed to be 10-year-olds.

This morning Sylvia discovered my name could be shortened to "Germ", and that I should be from "Germany". Great... Took a walk to town with girls and dog, for to buy bagels.

➪	Orbis Quintus gives me a new name to think about: Spanish author Juan Goytisolo.
➪	Jonathan of Lawyers, Guns and Money links to Matt Taibbi's new article Full Metal McCain. Excellent political journalism.
➪	Dr. Healy links to a colleague's review of Nixonland: Lane Kentworthy sees America splitting into more than Perlstein's two camps. (Interesting discussion in comments to Kieran's post.)
