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.

🦋 Closer to the moon

Sylvia and I and some friends will be outside tonight looking at the Supermoon -- the brightest full moon in years, it being at its perigee with the earth of only 221,567 miles at the same time it is full. And this same approach of the two bodies allows Larry Burns of Atwater, CA to declare victory years earlier than he expected to be able to, in his decades-old quest to bike the distance from the earth to the moon.

Update: Some great photos of the super moon from Flicker users.

Congratulations to Winston Rowntree of Subnormality -- his strip got a glowing mention in Glamour's Sex, Love and Life

blog today. This should bring lots more readers to one of the best things out there currently -- as bpatrick says in comments, "The Venn diagram of Subnormality and Glamour readership just took a step in the right direction."
