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.

🦋 Cryptic, ageless

Coincidence? I've been seeing a lot of links lately to information about the Voynich manuscript. The latest is a story about physicist Greg Hodgins of the University of Arizona, who has dated the document to the 15th Century, 100 years older than it was previously thought to be. Thanks for the link, Peter!

For a high-quality, page by page scan of the manuscript, visit Yale's Beinecke Rare Book Library Voynich Manuscript site, and click on the "page by page" link at the top of the page.

Borrowed Beams of Light's Kickstarter project is still going on -- they're nearly a third of the way to their goal!

➪	At ÎšÎµÎ½Î¿Î´Î¿Î¾Î¯Î±, James Warren reprints the abstract of Anaximander's rejoinder (The Asia Minor Journal of Rational Natural Philosophy vol. `ii`, 580 bce) to Thales' doctrine that all things are "from water," in order to demonstrate what early Greek philoÂsophy was not like.
➪	Geeta Doctor of the Mumbai Mirror reviews Orhan Pamuk's latest: "It's a book about reading. That itself should make the unwary reader anxious, the alert one curious."
➪	Chef of the Pasture releases their remix of Luther Strong's "Hog-eyed Man" on SoundCloud. Old-time Kentucky fiddle slowed way, way down with a synth overlay.
