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.

🦋 A Week Away

We are leaving tomorrow morning for Ithaca, for the Suzuki Summer Institute. It will be very good to get some time to unwind -- these last few weeks have been pretty stressful for me. (But hooray! On Friday, I finished up two important projects that have been bothering me, namely an HTML-to-text translation utility (which ended up being pretty simple; the main hassle was figuring out how to pipe both stdin and stdout for a child process) and converting a text reader to read XHTML input -- so no work projects to think about, much, on vacation.)

Reading material for the trip is Been Down So Long, It Looks Like Up To Me, set in a fictionalized Ithaca. Hoping to do some busking in the town center, which is a pretty busker-friendly environment.
