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.

🦋 Just a recommendation

I watched Innocent Voices Tuesday night, and again tonight. I want to write a post about it but am having a hard time getting my thoughts about it into any kind of postable order. So: maybe I will write about my reaction to it later on. But for now I just wanted to let you know about it; it's very much worth your while and I had not heard about it until just recently. Here is an interview with the screenwriter Oscar Torres, whose childhood is the subject of the film.

What's of interest:

➪	xtranormal.com is easily one of the coolest things ever. I just found out about it (thanks, AWB!) and haven't yet figured out how to make it do the things I want it to; but the possibilities are very much there. Check it out, it's free while in beta.
➪	At Crooked Timber, John Quiggin raises the possibility of ethical arbitrage across various markets.
➪	Belle takes a look at a recent study of the effects of cocaine on honeybees. Hilarious stuff. It "makes them exaggeratedly enthusiastic about things that might not otherwise excite them."
