Tyndareus Crushed, by Igor Mitoraj (taken August 2005)

`READIN`

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.

— John Stuart Mill (view other epigraphs)

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.

2 poemas con referencias biblicas --

No me parece tan necesario
Estar siempre listo
Para lo que venga;
Mejor, pienso, que se deje
Sorprender
Y hasta confundir
Por lo nuevo.
Mejor, pienso, volver,
Y otra vez volver,
En este momento seÃ±alado
Para toda cosa
Debajo del sol.

insensible
por The Modesto Kid

insensible
como las cenizas
a la llama

arde

y miro la paja en el ojo ajeno
y no atiendo la viga en el mÃo propio

ayÃºdame a mÃ, por favor --
me desespero
tengo viga en el ojo
lo reconozco
Â¿es ceniza? Â¿es llama? arde.
ilumina

espÃ©rame a mÃ momento, por favor --
espera
a confesarme

inmediato,
instantÃ¡neo

arde.

...y uno sino:

Vuelve ahora atrÃ¡s,
quien me una vez
Ã¡vidamente buscÃ³:
me persigue,
quien iba corriendo.

cada reportaje de algo nuevo
debajo del sol
vale como respuesta a la palabra eclesiastica
