Back in February........

Back in February, the all talented Colombian super pop star Shakira came to the World Bank to promote a program that supports Early Childhood Development in Latin America; part of the Non-Profit Organization ALAS.

Shakira met with Robert Zoellick, president of the World Bank to launch a $300 million Early Childhood Initiative. The program will provide children up to 6 years of age with the right nutrition and education in their growth. Unfortunately Shakira did not sing a song that day, but she did provide oomph to the launch of this program that will help millions of kids in need.

I was able to cover the event and be published by The Washington Post, Blogamole; a MTV Tr3s blog, and a local catholic Hispanic newspaper; El Pregonero.

E.T. tweet Home, E.T. tweet home

There are a couple of interesting things going on in outer space right now.
First, Astronomers find an Icy Asteroid orbiting the sun between Mars and Saturn. Scientists believe that this could answer the question as to where did the Earth get it's water from?
If you look at it from a religious point of view you already know the answer, but if you're a science geek, or if intergalactic mysteries attract you; then this article's for you!

The other interesting thing is that Nasa has been trying to phone E.T for a couple of years now.
"E.T. phone home, E.T. phone home" you remember the movie, we finally had contact with a real Alien. Could you imagine that??? The super almighty technologically advanced aliens coming to earth to greet us. Well, that's exactly what Nasa has been doing. Two years ago Nasa blasted the Beatles song 'Across the Universe' with hopes that they would answer or respond? Yeh it's ok I don't see that either. Now they have come up with 28 different missions to explore the cosmos and our solar system.

Since Twitter is so popular, have they considered sending tweets to outer space? is 140 enough to rech alien life form?

Well here's a link to the article from the Post. Enjoy and don't kill yourself trying to communicate with the galaxy.

This is a good feeling

This year my fiance and I had the opportunity to attend the Herblock Award Prize Ceremony (No we did not crash it) This year's winner is Politico's Matt Wuerker; you can check out his work here

It was amazing to be able to see Herblock's original work face to face. I had seen some before but not quite like this.

It is an honor for me to be in the same page as these great artists.
Thank you Michael Cavna for including me.
