`READIN`

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.

— John Stuart Mill (view other epigraphs)

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.

🦋 Vacation activity

So I have a week off coming up! Fun. My hope is that I won't let the time hang heavy on my hands, that I will do stuff and be engaged. Towards that end here is a list of some of the things I want to do with my free time:

Exercise! A perennial New Year's resolution is to be more physically active; this year it's pretty urgent that I devote some attention to that. I've been feeling more and more like a slug over the past couple of months. So: go to the gym daily, ride my bike if it is not too cold. Get Ellen to come along with me.
Practice my violin. Goes without saying, but regardless, I want to spend some serious time on that. Maybe do some recording with my great new software. (I've come up with a fiddle arrangement of "Keep Your Lamps Trimmed and Burning" that I think sounds really nice.) I should call Jerry (and Neal) and see if they have any free time next week.
Walks with Ellen and Sylvia. There should be some nice weather (I hope!) and it's pleasant just walking around.
Reading and blogging, of course.
