Return Eudemon

Monday, August 31st, 2009

I took one last vacation/long weekend with Marie and The Seven last week. We went to my parents’ cottage on Lake Huron. I got back yesterday. I’ll try to return to regular blogging Tuesday, but in case I can’t, I’ve programmed a few pictures to go up.

I’ve been vacationing in Alpena, Michigan. I return today. Regular posting will hopefully resume tomorrow morning.

Ever since getting my iPhone, I’ve been looking for Catholic devotional applications. I haven’t had much luck, so I created my own.

If you own an iPhone, it’s simple to do: You cut-and-paste prayers and meditations into an email [...]

One of the best articles I’ve seen on the whole Fed Reserve issue. Excerpt:

Ladies and Gentlemen, We Have a Winner…

When one considers the possibility that the Fed Chairman actually works for the banks, all the pieces begin falling into place.

It’s only natural, after all, given that the original mandate of the Fed was to preserve [...]

Econ Saturday

My father in-law sent me a newsletter from Investment Rarities Incorporated. It contained a copy of this article about the coming “divorce” between gold and silver. It’s sometimes difficult to read, but it has a few interesting nuggets (so to speak), especially this one:

Silver became a vital industrial material and its formerly large inventories have [...]

“You can still find an old English prayerbook with the passage, ‘Guard us from the Northmen.’”

Adams, For Good and Evil, p 159, writing about Viking incursions.

“Facebook has more followers than Buddha.” Evan Hessel, Forbes, 9/7/09, p 80.

Great line. It’s accurate (fb has 250m members, Buddhism something fewer). It’s clever, it’s tightly-written, and it either required the writer to research the number of Buddhists or know the rough figure off the top of his head.

The Stoics and Me

As an uptight Christian, I’ve sought spiritual counsel from the St. John the Apostle to Thomas Merton, from Augustine through Aquinas to Guardini. They all helped.

But I still suffered from uptightness and swings of passion: worry about the future; sudden bursts of good emotional energy, mortgaged with my emotional well-being in [...]

iPhone Blogging Activated

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Or not?

Please bear with me these next few days as I experiment with mobile blogging. I will have my normal daily post (though light, as mentioned earlier), but, if this works, additional twitter-type posts. Don’t worry, I won’t be posting about sartorial, hygenic, or other such self-obsessed mundanities. I’ll try to make these experimental posts [...]

 


"The Daily Eudemon is the sort of thing that Chesterton or Mencken would be doing, if they were alive today. It's what, in saner times, was called journalism. In the writing and in the reading, it's exactly the sort of leisure we should want at the basis of culture."
Mike Aquilina, Author of The Fathers of the Church and TV Talk Show Host.

"Literate Catholicism-urbane, witty, engaged-is alive and well! If you can read, you should be reading The Daily Eudemon!" David Scott, author of A Revolution of Love: The Meaning of Mother Teresa

"If you like your blogs pithy, nimble, pointed, high-spirited, and waggish, then bookmmark Eric Scheske's The Daily Eudemon. Ooops! You want prolixity, density, meandering, dull, and sober? Then run (do not walk!) to the blogs of the major news outlets. They have just what you want. Honestly they do." John Peterson, Editor, G.K. Chesterton: Collected Works, Volumes 12 and 13.

"Eric Scheske's web site is full of information and insight.  Always worth a read."  James V. Schall, Author of Another Sort of Learning.

"Eric Scheske has one of the few indispensable sites in an overcrowded blogosphere." Thomas E. Woods, Jr., Ph.D., New York Times Bestselling Author and Author of How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization.
