The READIN Family Album
(March 2005)

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.

🦋 5K

Sylvia has been running for several months now with the local branch of the group Girls on the Run, getting progressively more endurance and faster (well she was pretty fast to start out with; principally she is gaining endurance). Yesterday she ran 5K at the Florham Park Jaycees' annual event, with a bunch of other girls from the group (and several hundred runners in all). The run took her 36 minutes and tired her out! Here she is coming off the starting line with her friend Alessandra -- Sylvia and Alessandra crossed the finish line together too. Click through for more photos from the run.

What's of interest:

➪ At Shady Characters, Keith Houston opens his analysis of the ampersand with an overview of Cicero's life -- it turns out Cicero's secretary Tiro invented the first (recorded) shorthand for "and".
