Week 03.26.12 – Until the people feel that the shooting of Travyon Martin is handled properly stories on the Florida teen’s death will continue to make news. A Martin article that for sure caught my attention this week was the one about Spike Lee tweeting the wrong Zimmerman address to the masses. Yikes! Read about it under the entertainment section. On a much lighter note, I was in awe when I saw the photo-like pencil work of artist Paul Cadden (shown above). Be sure to take a look at this man’s amazing talent. When you’re done click on the links of the other news articles that turned my head.

I’m really enjoying this blog. I’m finding myself relying on this weekly news compilation. The selections and narrative are/is great. I seem to be spending more time reading it every week. Thanks.
Wow. I’m really glad you said that. I was actually thinking about not doing it anymore because I hardly get responses from folks about it. I was beginning to wonder if anyone was looking at it at all. You’ve given me a little extra push to keep going. Thanks Crazy-T. I appreciate you!
