Giveaway: Adrian Warnock is having a small giveaway for bloggers who would like to blog their way through the Together For the Gospel Statement.

Music: Kerry, a.k.a. BlackCalvinist, made a bootleg recording of one of the songs sung at the T4G Conference. He did not realize that he was not supposed to do this, but the organizers have generously allowed him to post it regardless. This is what it sounds like when 3000 men sing a hymn!

Video: Desiring God has put together a four-part interview with John Piper in which he discusses the upcoming Desiring God National Conference (which I will be, once again, live-blogging). Justin Taylor has the links. There is also a promotional trailer which you can view here.

Da Vinci: “Discover Magazine” has an article listing 20 things you didn’t know about Leonardo Da Vinci (it includes, unfortunately, one moderately vulgar pun). “An ambidextrous, paranoid dyslexic, Leonardo could draw forward with one hand while writing backward with the other, producing a mirror-image script that others found difficult to read.”
