The READIN Family Album
Me and Sylvia, walkin' down the line (May 2005)

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.

🦋 A fine day out west

Last night, the first wedding licenses under California's new law were issued. This morning, the first Modesto couple received their license -- they are members of my parents' church, which has a long record of support for gay marriage -- in the mid-80's, Diane Darling, the first out lesbian in the UCC ministry, was the pastor there, and was married to her wife in a church ceremony.

What's of interest:

➪
➪ Bob Dylan is exhibiting his art in London, and talking politics with the Times reporter. (Thanks for the link, Ellen!)
➪ Dr. Holbo came up with a lovely illustration for his forthcoming Plato textbook.
➪ Susan Faludi has a really interesting op-ed piece in today's NY Times, about gender roles and the presidency. I did not know about the Daniel Boone sculpture she references.
(Other links of interest at my Google+ page. It's recommended!)
