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.

🦋 Thelonious Monkey

It's said that given infinite time, a thousand monkeys with a thousand grand pianos would surely play all the works of Joplin.

🦋 Motto

Every beginner ought to be given, as you have surely received, the tools of the craft. Or else one must beg, borrow or steal them. (Better still to fashion one's own...)

🦋 Rainy Day Woman

So I gave my song its debut performance, it was also my debut performance with either of my partners (and their first time meeting one another!), and I really think it was a success. Waiting (impatiently) to listen to the recording that Sylvia shot, that she's sharing with me as we speak... [off to check messages] (I mean it sounded as I was playing it like a successful performance... and Sylvia and Ellen and Rebecca all were happy with it with it as well. Waiting to hear the recording of it for myself for confirmation.)

update Yep, it's a keeper! Will post soon.
