Jeremy's journal

In Solomon's mind, not wanting and not knowing form part of a much larger question about the world in which he finds himself.

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.

🦋 Interruptions in the Journey

In southern New Jersey photographer Bryan Graf has caused a minor setback for some plastic bags, in their ultimate journey to The Vortex.

Meanwhile in Seattle, a gray whale has beached itself, and an examination of its stomach finds (among many other pieces of human garbage) 20 plastic bags.

Interesting, and eerily beautiful if you don't consider the implications. The one you have on your site looks rater like a jellyfish.

Thanks!

What's of interest:

➪ John Emerson of Haquelebac has been thinking about poetry translation; today he tries his hand at Vinicius de Moraes Saravá's "Sonnet on the Last Hour" -- with very appealing results.
➪ At Hark! A Vag­rant, Katie Bea­ton takes on F. Scott Fitz­gerald and the novel we all read in high school.
