When Twitter first came on the scene, I was really skeptical of this medium (I still have a few reservations). According to the Twitter FAQ page, Twitter is “a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?”

Voting for What Needs to Be Said
October 9, 2008So I am in another voting game, and I am losing pretty bad. What do I do? I call on my blog readers for some help–that’s what I do.
Here’s the deal. Over at Said at Southern, there is a contest for the best tag line, and I submitted several. One made it into [...]
Moderating Comments
September 22, 2008The blog is currently being overwhelmed by spam comments which sould have already been caught but are making it onto the blog. As a result, I am having to moderate all comments, so if your comment does not show up promptly, it is because I will be approving them individually. I don’t expect this to [...]
500,000
September 11, 2008Thank you for reading my blog.
For the Time Being . . .
July 20, 2008NOTE: For regular updates on Tom Ascol’s health condition, please see the comments section of this post.
For the past week or so, I have been wrestling where to go with the blog in writing series as well as keeping up with Blue Collar Theology and the 2008 Puritan Reading Challenge (among other things). [...]

SBC Bloggers, Ascol in USA Today
June 4, 2008In a recent article in USA Today, Cathy Lynn Grossman writes about SBC bloggers:
The six candidates range from conservatives backed by the leaders of the denomination’s sharp turn toward doctrinal strictness in the 1970s to younger pastors who take a less hard-line stance and are promoted by bloggers.
The winner will succeed Frank Page, who won [...]
Breaking Out of the Blogospheric Bubble
May 9, 2008On a usual day in the evangelical blogosphere, you can expect that about half of your readers are regular readers/subscribers, another third Christians who come due to linkage or Google love, and a very small percentage of folks from outside the little world that is the evangelical blogospheric bubble (EBB).
There have been only a few [...]
Blogging Worthy of the Gospel
April 24, 2008Now that the 2008 Band of Bloggers fellowship is gone, folks have been wondering what if anything will come of the Band of Bloggers and the vision of a gospel-driven community in the evangelical blogosphere. That is something that has been on my mind as well, and over the next several weeks, I hope [...]
WordPress New Dashboard
April 4, 2008Those of you who are WordPress (dot com) users, have you checked out the new dashboard? What do you think? I’m thumbing through it, and I really like the new dashboard. I’m still checking out the new features, but overall it looks much cleaner. I’d be interested in hearing what you all think about it.
VOTE for Reid!
April 3, 2008The big dance at Said at Southern is coming to a close, and while I am actually in the running, I realize I have no chance in winning. Steve McCoy, teamed up with Joe Thorn and others, has built up quite the lead. However, I think that Reid Monaghan can take them on, [...]
Provoke the Vote 2008: “Yes We Can!”
March 25, 2008Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to provoke the vote.
I realize that we have built bridges to Mars, put some grease and grime on glossy theology, and reintroduced 17th century giants in the midst of a dwarfed 21st century spirituality. But alas, we are just getting started. Today, I am asking you to [...]

View in Flickr (see it LARGE)
Two photos: one from last week and the other from yesterday evening. Actually, the top photo was my favorite from my shots of the snow as I really liked the feel of it. The funny thing about it was that I was riding [...]
Live-Blogging Tips
March 16, 2008Over the past couple of months, I have been receiving some random requests for tips on live-blogging conferences. First, I want to tell you that I am not the guru on live-blogging; that would be the other Tim–Tim Challies. Second, these tips are merely suggestions and do not reflect a consensus or common opinion of [...]
Matthew Wireman Partners with Blue Collar Theology
March 23, 2008It’s really amazing how things have been coming together over the past 3-4 months. The first blog development was bringing Jason Meyer on for book reviews and contributing to blog series; then came Owen Strachan for culture commentary as well as various contributions; and now I am excited to share the news that Matthew [...]
