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.

Slacktivist posted this video yesterday, with the note that there are only three more days -- well today there are only two more days; and this is the perfect version of the perfect song for this moment.

Tracy Chapman in New York City: October 16th, 1992

I had totally forgotten about Tracy Chapman, glad to be reminded.

Mmm... that makes me want to hear Bob singing this song. Here he is in 1964:

(Dylan is 25 in this video; Chapman is 28 above.)

➪	A White Bear (who has, sigh, once again purged her archives) has a hilarious post up examining the candidates as professors and TA's -- Palin "all but admits sheâ??s just doing the job because she needs a good recommendation letter" -- and praying for Tuesday to come, so she can get her brain back.
➪	The Virginia Quarterly Review publishes a newly translated interview with Gabriel Garcia Márquez, from 1977.
➪	Apostropher's got the link to some amazing nature photography.
