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.

My current reading (starting today) is Andrew Troelsen's COM and .NET Interoperability -- I expect it to be dry reading material compared to The Corrections and The Life of Pi; but I have kind of high hopes for it to be more engaging and better written than any of the other API documentation I have read recently. I just read the introduction and Troelsen seems prepared to get to the point clearly and without the annoying cuteness you see in many of these books. I also like that the book has only one author; many of these books are written by two or more people and do not have a clear authorial voice.

Anyways -- COM is what I work in by and large; and .NET is where I am headed; I have written one project in .NET so far and it was a pretty enjoyable experience. So I think this will be a useful book. I don't know how much I am going to blog about it -- depends on how useful it ends up being I guess.
