infundibulum

After reading and translating a bunch of blog posts to prepare for writing “The Race to Wire Brazil” at Global Voices Online (not to mention hanging out with a two wacky Paulistas in London, I’ve found myself getting interested in Portuguese again.

(Don’t worry Nic, I’m still working on the Welsh. ☺ )

I keep my Portuguese-related links here.

One thing I’m interested in is listening more, and I’ve not been able to find massive amounts of stuff with just spoken Portuguese online.

Tem alguem lá em cyberlândia que conheça mais alguma coisa interessante para escutar?

So far I’ve found:

• Odeo: É batata! — sadly, seems defunct?
• Portal da Cidadania — LULA SPEAKS. Heh, wow. Just politico-talk, mostly, but I have to admit that I find this really interesting. I had no idea he had such a strong accent! É ver-dah-dee!
• Podcast Código Livre — a podcast about Linux. Pretty funny and interesting. (I should write more about Linux in Brazil here…)

So yeah, hook me up with suggestions. You can email me if you want: pat.hall at gmail.com. (I should really fix the registration crap on this blog… Chris seems to have found the magic combination of plugins for stopping spam in the work she did building the Blogamundo deeveloper blog.)
