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.

Just a note: my new yo-yo is about the easiest and most fun to spin of any yo-yo I've tried. It will come back in situations where most yo-yos would not. If you're looking for one to learn on or if you know how to do it and want to have some fun, I recommend this model.

(Note: It is not as heavy as a classic Duncan Imperial or Duncan Butterfly, so it will not sleep for as long as them; I mostly like doing looping tricks where sleeping is not as important.)

That's good to know; I may need a yo-yo in the future.
