The READIN Family Album
Me and Sylvia, walkin' down the line (May 2005)

READIN

Jeremy's journal

Although I have done it all these thirty years or more, although I live my life surrounded by other people who are always doing it, still I think that there are few activities so worthy of inspection as the reading of novels.

— Juan Gabriel Várgas

READIN

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.

🦋 BADA55

Thanks to graffiti artist GRL, I just found out about this color. Hee!

(As long as we're thinking about dirty shades of green, check out the new game: if you like Tetris and Bloxxorz, you'll love Assembler. The site will sometimes crash your browser, though.)

(Source code for this kind of a look is, e.g., <div style="background-color:#bada55;">...</div>)

What's of interest:

➪ Norman Thomas di Giovanni, translator of Borges, has posted his translation of "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius" on his web site (which I'm very happy to find out about -- thanks, Mark!)
➪ SEK posts some memorable Peanuts strips and a Dennis the Menace. Good post, great comments thread.
