The READIN Family Album
Me and Sylvia, on the Potomac (September 2010)

READIN

Jeremy's journal

Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.

— Sir Francis Bacon

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.

🦋 Dance!

Sylvia's dance teacher invited us to a rehearsal of the show her troupe is working on currently. Wow! I am excited now about going to the performance. Lovely bodies in motion -- though we were so close to the dancers I had a bit of a hard time seeing the whole group of them as a unit -- I was just focusing in on individuals.

Listening to the music of the first few dances, I was thinking "These are fantastic Dylan songs! How come I've never heard them? I gotta find out what album they're from." But turns out they are not by Dylan at all, but by Ray LaMontagne.

What's of interest:

➪ Kieran Healy wishes us a happy St. Paddy's Day.
➪ Somebody commenting at (IIRC) Matt Yglesias' blog posted a link to this entertaining cover version. (If you're not familiar with the original Flea Market Montgomery commercial, by all means check it out.) Oddly, Gabe reports that the rest of Groves' recordings are in the "adult alternative contemporary christian" genre and make him feel creepy.
➪ Redfox links a short video of The Who as kids (1965 -- I guess they were about 20 or 21).
(Other links of interest at my Google+ page. It's recommended!)
