Stuff from the web

Protagon is by far my favourite new discovery, although I'm not even sure it's new. With all the things happening in Greece at the moment, when you live abroad you need a good, thoughtful, interesting and balanced site to see how things really are. Protagon is all that and much more. It is eclectic, it is pluralistic, it is interesting, it has Varoufaki's Modest Proposal for overcoming the Eurozone crisis, it even has my old linguistics professor from the University of Crete. Along with LiFO, it is my main portal of information on the Greek crisis.

On a more personal note, welcome to blogosphere diasoil, aka d/a! May your days be creative and plenty.

And finally, a new Greek magazine Ough, with interesting alternative stuff and a translation facility.

Life is continuously hard but being well-informed is crucial.

PS. Have a look at Tsipras's Guardian and NYT interviews. As a friend says, clearly people abroad take him more seriously than people within. But isn't this the Greek curse from the times of Socrates and Aristeides anyway (no comparison intended of course)?
