Ideas of the Week that You Should Know About

via The Thirty Mile Woman by cocacy on 4/1/10

So I decided to post weekly the most interesting ideas, articles, new trends, controversial points of view, etc. that are making there ways along the net. Please enjoy! The first link in the list will take you to Erykah Badu's website and ultimately to her video "Window Seat" (for now, you can only view the video on her website) The video is polarizing folks left and right! Its causing quite a stir, perhaps being one of the biggest stories of the week. Later this weekend, I'm going to write up a blog post that dissects the video from my perspective. If you feel that I've missed something (or someone) or have burning opinions about anything, please do post to the comments section. Enjoy
