Global Voices Online and Snow in Belgie

I was webwandering after breakfast ... having begun the day with an Arctic expedition in search of the traditional Belgian Sunday morning breakfast food. You know it has occured to me that perhaps my name should be changed to Di, the Woman Who Brings Snow. I lived in Turkey for two years and during that time there were 3 or 4 'city-shut-down-type' heavy snowfalls ... now Belgium is having one of the snowiest winters in years. Then again, I might keep that quiet while 'in process'. Anyway, as a result of last night's snow we had to walk to our Bakkerij for Sunday pistolets and koffie koeken ... ahhh Belgie, so civilised. Later... replete to the point of 'I must run tomorrow or firemen will have to cut me out of the building', I was working my way through the list of blogs I like to check in on and came to Angelvox, found via Erkan's site. (By the way, why does America want Turkey to allow it to put battleships into the Black Sea, as posted as recent news on Erkan's blog.)
Angelvox writes an interesting blog out of Istanbul but today I noticed she also writes for Global Voices Online .

I followed the link and checked it out: Global Voices Online is a non-profit global citizens’ media project, sponsored by and launched from the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at the Harvard Law School.
A growing number of bloggers around the world are emerging as “bridge bloggers:” people who are talking about their country or region to a global audience. Global Voices is your guide to the most interesting conversations, information, and ideas appearing around the world on various forms of participatory media such as blogs, podcasts, photo sharing sites, and videoblogs.
Our global team of regional blogger-editors is working to find, aggregate and track these conversations. Each day they link to 5-10 of the most interesting blog posts from their regions in the “daily roundups” section. A larger group of contributing bloggers is posting daily features in in the left-hand Weblog section, shedding light on what blogging communities in their countries have been talking about recently

You'll find some of the 'voices' here. Seems kind of cool and an antidote to what we are spoon-fed in our various countries of residence.
