Me and Sylvia, smiling for the camera (August 2005)

READIN

Jeremy's journal

He became so absorbed in his reading that he spent his nights reading from dusk to dawn, and his days from dawn to dusk; and thus, from so little sleep and from so much reading, his brain dried up, so that he came to lose all judgement.

— Miguel de Cervantes

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.

I had dinner last night with Unfogged commenter Idealist (whom I am planning to start calling IdeaList) -- we went to La Espiga. He is also from the Central Velley, grew up in Davis, and has been missing good Mexican food since he moved to NY. La Espiga did not disappoint. The menu is limited on weekdays, e.g. they did not have chiles rellenos, which IdeaList had been hoping for; but the dishes they did have were great. I had chivito en adobo, which I was a little surprised to see on the menu -- I had thought of it as more an Ecuadorean or Columbian dish -- and of course a couple of tacos. (Best taco filling available on weekdays is carnitas IMO; best on the full menu are barbacoa and lengua.) Update: Jim says chivito in adobo is Mexican. My mistake.
