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.

🦋 Archival

Ragebunny has discovered a new photostream on Flicker; one which purports to be maintained by [presumably some person working at] The Library of Congress*. It is a fantastic thing: tons of archival photos, right now from the 1910's and the 30's-40's, and I'm assuming more decades will be uploaded soon.

Also on LJ today, Gertrude Crumlift Sturdley links to a NY Times article about smutty archival recordings. Good stuff!

* Confirmed: Here is the LoC's FAQ regarding the Flicker project.
