ZENIT - What Is a Catholic University? →
Here is a great little homily from Cardinal Arinze about the nature of a Catholic University, delivered at Christendom College. I had the pleasure of taking a class from a former CC professor, Dr. Jonathan Reyes, during my brief and somewhat tragic stint in Colorado, at the Augustine Institute in Denver, which he founded.

Coming down the 150 into Santa Paula was stunning, and ordinary, and stunning that something so stunning could be ordinary. The pale mist was hanging on the peaks like opium smoke and the greens were so deep you could taste them. It reminded me of good old G.K. Chesterton talking...
Solve problems by writing a note to yourself | 43... →
Here’s a little something I found over on 43 Folders. This is an interesting hack to apply the psychological state, imposed by an ubiquitous modern communication tool, to the task of problem solving.
