Brews You Can Use

I missed this little gem last summer: Zen Beer [http://www.wsoctv.com/foodnews/9607321/detail.html#]. > Wisconsin micro brewer BluCreek is coming out with a new beer called Zen. The idea is to give a brewski the supposed health benefits of green tea. > The brewery said the

The Friday Eudemon

All sorts of good stuff out there today, but I'm pressed for time. A bullet approach: If you didn't last night's The Office (the only TV show I watch, though I've seen it only five times), download it from iPod for $1.

Being the Crocodile Hunter

Mark Steyn's regular obituary column in the current issue of The Atlantic Monthly talks about Steve Irwin [http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200611/crocodile-hunter]. It's a very nice tribute to the Aussie, notwithstanding this blurb that cracked me (caution: vulgar material coming up): > There

The Thursday Eudemon: Melvins, Juans, and Brucies

Possibly the best opening line of all news stories this week: A high school principal received a six-day suspension and a letter of reprimand for giving one of his students a wedgie [http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,225123,00.html]. The rest of the story isn'

The Wednesday Eudemon

When's the last time I did a Wednesday Eudemon? It's been awhile. Long-in-the-tooth readers might remember that this blog used be called "The Wednesday Eudemon." That's because I only posted on Wednesdays. That changed about 20 months ago, and

If they shrink babies, there'll be nothing left. But that's not stopping some parents [http://www.azcentral.com/offbeat/articles/1024wsj-infant-psychotherapy24-ON.html] .

Blogging Eudemon

Two interesting posts from my daily blog travels: Jimmy Akin argues that Newman should be a doctor of the Church, assuming a few hurdles can be jumped [http://jimmyakin.typepad.com/defensor_fidei/2006/10/the_next_doctor.html]. I like it. I just started reading from Erich Przywara'

The Tuesday Eudemon

Surveying the Internet landscape, there's a mish-mash of semi-interesting stuff, but nothing worthy of an entire post, not even one of my 10-word ones. News for the stomach strong: Harry Potter will perform nude next summer [http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,224037,00.

Ah, Youth

I've been wearing a pedometer for about two months now. My record for steps in a day: 25,100. My ten-year-old wore my wife's pedometer today. He didn't put it on until 10:00 (he got up around 7:45). He ended

Hot Universities

The ongoing cultural contributions of higher education: The North American universities with the best-looking students [http://hottestuniversity.com/]: 1. University of Toronto 2.
