Closest that I've seen is the "Module of the Week"

Or maybe this:

But I'd love to see a daily tip that supplied something very simple, 
elegant and memorable.

One other thing:  Much of what you'll find for advice is mistaken or 
misguided.  So learn how to test the advice, and learn who to trust when 
you have no way to test it yourself.   One advantage with a mailing list 
like this is you have lots of people ready to correct typos and 
misconceptions.  This can generate lots of noise, but has a huge net 
benefit.l
