Before my post earlier today, this blog had been dormant for almost a full month. The more I think about it, the more inexcusable I find it to be. The last week or so has found me more and more inspired (thanks Joe!) to get this blog going again, and to do it right. My dreams and ideas got bigger and bigger, but I was missing the most important thing. What I really needed to do was just to start posting again, and to keep my posting consistent. So, starting today, that's the plan. A visual redesign is in the works, but the most important changes will be in the frequency (and hopefully the quality) of the content. Here are a few ideas of what's to come:

• More posts on points of local interest, including the 2005 Chattanooga mayoral race
• Reviews of Killing Bono and Get Up Off Your Knees
• And my personal favorite, an essay tentatively titled "Speaking in Tongues: The Foreign Language of Bono's Christianity"

Finally, in a shameless attempt to attract attention, sometime soon I'm going to repost what is probably the most popular thing I've ever (co-)written. Guess who it's about?
