One of the big challenges about publishing a blog on focused topics is that external events can intrude and make your posts seem like they don’t live in the real world.
Twenty years ago today, I published my first post on this blog. Over the years, I liked to mark each blogiversary (or blawgiversary) with
Everywhere I look, people are doing some kind of “best of 2019” lists. I thought I’d jump into the retrospective waters and take a look back at my best 2019 posts.
First, though, the best quote about me in 2019:
Dennis is Yoda. – Jordan Furlong
Thank you, Jordan.

On February 15, 2003, I started this blog with a line from Babylon 5:

Twelve years ago today, I launched this blog. I decided to call the blog simply DennisKennedy.Blog.
My blog and I celebrated the birth day quietly today, with only a little fanfare, as we awaited a large winter storm predicted for St. Louis.We talked at length about the positive response the blog has always gotten and
Eleven years ago today, with an allusion to Babylon 5 and the ideas that I needed to produce my own RSS feed and experiment with new types of writing, I launched this blog. I called the blog simply DennisKennedy.Blog.
Much has happened with me and this blog over those eleven years. I appreciate the positive
Ten years ago (February 15, 2003), I launched this blog and it’s striking how much that has happened to me since can be traced to this blog.
The original post started with a reference to my favorite science fiction TV series, Babylon 5, and said:

I launched DennisKennedy.Blog on February 15, 2003, as an early birthday present to myself. My birthday is February 17.
