Rename of .ascii files to .adoc

Originally, .ascii was used because .asciidoc was far too long. The
.adoc extension is more standard, shorter, and vim syntax highlighting
recognizes it.

+Theming Gnome Shell:Intro
+=========================

+
+For the last several months, I've been running gnome-shell full time.  For
+those of you who don't know what this is, it is version 3 of Gnome, one of the
+many available Linux graphical user interfaces (see
+http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME[here] for more info). We are currently on
+something like 2.3 for the stable release of Gnome I believe.
+
+With this new major release of Gnome, its developers significantly changed the
+interface in an attempt to simplify window and virtual desktop management,
+bringing Linux just one step closer to being more "user friendly".
+
+Along with all of this change came a new method for theming and tweaking the
+look and feel of things. In the past, Gnome used multiple configuration files
+that were cumbersome to edit. In this new release, Gnome has switched over to
+using...you guessed it... CSS! How exciting.
+
+Continuing on, for those of you who don't know what CSS is, it's basically a
+"programming language" (I know I know, it's not technically a programming
+language)  used primarily to style websites. In most cases this takes the form
+of setting the background image or color, font size, family and color, and
+various other style-related things on the interwebz. This is really great
+because standards are already in place for CSS making Gnome-shell much easier
+to theme and learn to theme.
+
+If anyone reading this blog doesn't personally know me (which is quite likely
+since Google knows more people than I do), I'm basically addicted to theming my
+computer. If you ask my girlfriend, while we were in college together she would
+be doing homework and I would theme my computer for hours on end when I SHOULD
+have been doing my homework.  When Gnome-shell came out, I got addicted pretty
+quickly.
+
+This post is a precursor to my theme postings. I've made so many out of boredom
+(and that I just can't seem to find quite the right look) that I feel kind of
+bad not posting them for all to use. I will also write a few posts regarding
+how to theme Gnome-shell as well. But first, some themes!!!
