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.

🦋 Isla Negra, Chile

Promoted from comments: Jorge links to an amazing set of photos at his Picasa account: Isla Negra is the site of one of Neruda's residences.I'm just blown away by the shades of black in this picture.

Glad you liked them! I'm quite fond on some of those pics, they have some sort of dramatic quality, and no photoshop postproduction at all :)

What's of interest:

➪	Saramago writes about Bush ("who is leaving and should never have arrived"), Obama ("who is at the point of entering and, let us hope, will not disillusion us completely"), and Bartlet. Kind of trips me out to think of him and Pilar watching The West Wing.
➪	Judith Flanders documents the rise and fall of Waterford Wedgewood.
➪	William Zantzinger, who lived an all-around no-good life and inspired one of the great songs of our times, died this week.
