The READIN Family Album
Greetings! (July 15, 2007)

READIN

Jeremy's journal

The alternatives are not placid servitude on the one hand and revolt against servitude on the other. There is a third way, chosen by thousands and millions of people every day. It is the way of quietism, of willed obscurity, of inner emigration.

— J.M. Coetzee

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.

🦋 Walking around the swamp

This morning found the three of us walking along the boardwalk that runs through the Great Swamp preserve -- it's not too far away from us (15 miles maybe), but I hardly ever get a chance to visit. Today was a wonderful day for it. Click thru 4 pix.

What's of interest:

➪ At Haquelebac, John has some follow-up questions to ask the annotators of Lolita. Sure they are pedantic, but ‘Nabokovists are supposed to be pedantic.’ (John gets some undeserved shit in comments.)
➪ On National Geographic's Ancient X-Files, Nick Pelling works on unraveling the cryptic skein of the Voynich Manuscript. (via The New Post-Literate)
(Other links of interest at my Google+ page. It's recommended!)
