The Practicing Catholic has nominated me for the
Superior Scribbler award!
See the post on my other blog for all of the details, and for my own picks for this award!

Just FYI….
….there’s much more going on over at my other blog, Blogging Aquinas. Though admittedly it’s not to everyone’s taste.
Around and About
Some things I’ve seen recently, around and about the web.
- Catholic teaching declares that the family is the basic unit of society. CMR has statistics to back this up. I was rather shocked at the magnitude of some of the effects.
- Joe at Intentional Disciples talk about what an authentic lay spirituality looks like. They do good work over there.
- Fr. Philip Powell found a massive on-line index to various classics. Some neat stuff here.
Appalling
It seems that one of the leading sources for global warming data is incompetent–at best.
Fantastic Contraption
One of the folks at the Tcl Conference mentioned a website called Fantastic Contraption, at which you build odd little machines intended to convey a package from here to there. It’s a physics game, and geometry, weight, and traction are all very important. After it was mentioned, it was not an uncommon sight to see attendees playing it on their laptops while the sessions were on-going.
My younger son, the 9-year-old engineer, has been rapt for the last hour.
And folks want to vote for this guy? How come? Change is frequently change for the worse.
Despicable
These days, when I read something bad about someone on-line I tend to take with a grain of salt, or perhaps even several–I’ve too often taken such stories at face value when I shouldn’t have. But if this is true, it’s utterly despicable.
Irony
In light of McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate yesterday, I found today’s Doonesbury to be especially funny.

Mazzard Thwackery
Here’s a new blog that I’ll be keeping an eye on; I found it in the referrers list for Blogging Aquinas. The author, “James the Least”, calls himself a modern iconoclast…which is to say, he’s dedicated to smashing the idols of the Modern Age.
