Yes, Dennis has a blog again!
Come on everyone and celebrate! You know you’ve missed the regular musings of a genuine artist (since the start of fulltime work and life, sadly my musings don’t carry as much cultural weight). Dennis has resurfaced on a new website, and as with the continual reinventing we frequently do in life, there’s no trace of past reincarnations on D’s new online hangout. A quote:
I’m usually not one of those people who likes to keep re-cleaning their slate – I like my history, all the good and the bad, and I like seeing my own progression. But I think there’s a difference between coming to terms with your own history, and broadcasting that history to the world. That period of broadcasting is over.
I can agree with Dennis in that social media has given an unprecedented paper trail of my life. The start of my journey as a Christian coincided with the beginning of my blogging experience, and when I read back on old posts and thoughts it’s a rare glimpse and proof of ongoing sanctification and the work of Christ in my life. But like Dennis, these older blogs are now archived away in a memory (and perhaps a USB flash drive) – sorry for you rampant Googlers!

A new blog from Tim Challies
If he wasn’t enough of a voracious blogger (he’s posted every day for the past six years), Tim Challies has just started another blog called “10 Million Words”.
It’s an intriguing premise though – basically he intends to read all the books that appear on the New York Times‘ bestseller list in 2010 and review them (which adds up to about 10 million words, he reckons). Aside from the fact that it’s like, three books a week (I struggle to read one chapter a week!), it’s also an exercise in absorbing the worldview shaping our culture today.
There are already some insightful reviews on there – it’s definitely a blog I’m adding to my reading list.
