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.

🦋 Jiva and Atman

Jiva eats the fruit of the tree: Jiva is bound to the world. Jiva is part of the world.
Atman does not eat but watches.
Atman links Jiva to the supreme unity.

🦋 Jagged

There was a jagged man, and he walked a jagged mile.
He found a jagged sixpence behind a jagged stile.
He bought a jagged cat that caught a jagged mouse.
They all lived together in a little jagged house.

There is no Lie without a liar; there is no Truth without a truth-teller.
There is no Song without a singer.

🦋 UTF-8

Hm. Non-ASCII characters in the blog don't seem to be rendering correctly anymore. Sorry... at some point I will figure out why and fix it, but not today. eéäoö what's weird is if I enter non-ASCII characters in a new post, they render correctly...

🦋 Thelonious Monkey

It's said that given infinite time, a thousand monkeys with a thousand grand pianos would surely play all the works of Joplin.

🦋 Motto

Every beginner ought to be given, as you have surely received, the tools of the craft. Or else one must beg, borrow or steal them. (Better still to fashion one's own...)
