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.

🦋 Movie Night

Our latest movie is "The Muppet Movie". Sylvia had a cold this week so we rented it for her to watch with Ellen during the day on Wednesday; but they did not get to it, so Sylvia and I ended up watching it over the course of Wednesday evening and this evening. (Also I watched it in full Tuesday night after Sylvia was in bed -- did I mention this is one of my favorite films ever?) Great, great, great. Great soundtrack, great caricature, great cameos (the best IMO is Orson Welles but all are excellent), great plot! Sylvia said after the end of the movie, "Let's get this one again sometime." I could not agree more.
