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.

Looks like putting up a wish list was a good idea -- my birthday present from my parents just arrived in the mail, and it is volumes 1 and 2 of The Music of Kentucky: Early American Rural Classics. Great stuff too -- the fiddle music is incomparable.

What's of interest:

➪	Patrick Nielsen Hayden links to Bob Rossney linking to a video that I need to watch.
➪	Elizabeth Royte has a great piece in today's NY Times about public drinking fountains.
➪	Robyn on the radio: "Paul Morley's Guide to Musical Genres", featuring a Hitchcock interview, aired last night on BBC2. Listen to it here.
➪	Is the skeleton also gummi?
➪	Young Matt gets simplistic and shrill and does an excellent job of it. The problem with the conservative movement is that it's fundamentally malign.
