Like the new look? I saw Shades of Gray at the Sandbox Design Competition and I thought that it would be a nice addition to the site.
I’ll be upgrading the blog to Wordpress 2.6 soon, so don’t be surprised if things look funny sometimes in the next day or two.
(And with this, I have a chance of keeping at least one post on our front page! And there was not much rejoicing.)
Update: Actually, I’m done, I think. It went [...]
I have been enjoying following Gene Veith for the last few months (even when he repeats the canard that Calvinists aren’t Christ-centered, yadda yadda yadda), but I think he earned a permanent spot in my newsreader when I discovered that he’s into Doctor Who.
Kris Lundgaard is blogging chapter by chapter through The Little Prince. It has remained one of my favorite books ever since we first read it in French class. (For what it’s worth, I made a quick comment in his combox about my short-lived drawing “career,” too.)
By the way, I also want to plug [...]
As if you were interested (I know a couple of you are, at least), I upgraded TOOT to WordPress 2.5. It’s nice, overall. The only major functionality I think I lost was Wavatars, and to be honest, while on a mostly guy-oriented site like Shamus Young’s you can get away with people having [...]
Obviously the blog has changed its look a bit. My biggest two problems are:
The information that came with the “asides” is gone. So far I’ve had trouble getting it back.
My tables look terrible; the borders have disappeared. I can’t find this in the CSS yet, so I’m not sure why this is [...]
My friend Dave is a father.
Let’s everyone welcome Alpha and Omega Ministries to Web… um… I don’t know, what would this be, 1.1? Seriously, the redesign looks great.
The “new” list of tired old clichés, with a tip of the hat to Jollyblogger.
Wow. Justin Taylor announces Challies’ new book. People question his credentials. Steve Camp suggests that Tim is just looking for his fifteen minutes of fame. Justin blasts Steve. Frank Turk and Phil Johnson step in. Challies begins to respond. Challies’ pastor endorses the book (in apparent response to [...]
Blech!
Some of my old posts on TOOT sure do make me cringe when I re-read them. For instance, I remember this one from about a year and a half ago. The context is that Matt Gumm had posted his “ten simple pleasures” and then tagged or asked the TOOT members to respond. [...]
On the 4th, we will start our fourth year of blogging here.
I don’t have any idea what the future holds. Not a clue.
In other news, I’ve been in love with my wife for ten years now.
Sometimes it doesn’t seem like that long. And sometimes I can’t remember life without her.
Bloggers I respect are endorsing Huckabee.
We love TeamPyro. Thanks to Phil Johnson and the Pyromaniacs for adding us to their blogroll. (Wow, we even got a boldface.)
From In the Beginning was the Command Line, but I found it via Tim Bray:
I use emacs, which might be thought of as a thermonuclear word processor. It was created by Richard Stallman; enough said. It is written in Lisp, which is the only computer language that is beautiful. It is colossal, and yet it [...]
Matt Gumm has “c’mon, man”-ed me about my lack of comments here.
As my readers know, I have never allowed comments regularly here. I have turned them on for occasional posts, where I was inviting conversation, and sometimes all I heard was the crickets chirping, and once it turned into a free-for-all with a lot [...]
An interesting extract from George Mueller of Bristol:
To one who asked him the secret of his service he said:
“There was a day when I died, utterly died;”
and, as he spoke, he bent lower and lower until he almost touched the floor—
“died to George Mueller, his opinions, preferences, tastes and will—died to the world, its approval [...]

Analyze this!
Ah, how I love the smell of blog in the morning! Check out the comboxes here and here for details.
And, to whet your appetite, here’s one of my fave moments. It takes place when armchair atheist “Evan” apparently decides spouting off his latest diatribes against God, the Bible, and Christianity just ain’t good [...]
