A question was asked of us via IM as to how we found Zoundry. The question was asked by someone who has been searching up and down with Google to find an offline editor for Vox. Not alone.

If you read further down, you'll see my futile attempts to get LiveWriter to work with this blog.

Didn't happen yet.

Back to the question.

In a rather round about way is the short version.

The long version is with the installation of Google Reader, linking Mashable.com along with 43Folders, LifeHacker etc. My nightly routine has become to go over the links, so nicely displayed in summary form, in Google Reader and look for the items I want to blog about, or save or share to the side bar link on Belltowernews.com.

Always on the lookout for blog editors, I came upon the link to The Ten Best Free Blog editors. Tried the ones I haven't tried yet, and Zoundry won.

I hope that answers the question.

Anyone have any idea how to get LiveWriter to work with VOX?

Because of their cry for help, Burma  has been at the top of the  nation’s attention span for an unusually long time.  As I have listened to the reports on Canadian and US radio, it occurred to me how little I know about the country past Kipling, Orwell and The Oxford History of the World Atlas. 

After going through the Wikipedia articles on the country I thought it would be a good idea to get a better idea of the physicality of Mandalay and Rangoon, (Yangon) to follow the Irrawaddy River from Mandalay to Rangoon.  Touching on the spots representing submitted photos, I got the tourist eyed view of the trip down the river.

This was not intended to teach me about the current “Saffron Revolution”. It was to show me more about what the place looks like, who are its neighbors and its general place in the world. 

It was worth the trip.

When did you last write/receive a handwritten, snail-mail letter? Who was it to/from? 
Submitted by Places Unknown.

To a friend in NYC who is totally computer phobic.  I mentioned in the letter that the envelope was probably handled by at least a dozen or so unclean people before she opened it.  Mean of me I know, but she really needs an email address!!! -30-

Patrick Ng's entry on the Notebook page regarding Italian notebooks brought me back to Vox and reminded us we had a page here.  Work is hectic, and of course it is only me in the whole world saying that.  I have a bookmark folder called Must Visit.  I will put the Vox page in there with Google and Email.com. =30=

What are your Superbowl plans?  What's your prediction and why? 
Submitted by danatmedog.

Being a Patriots Fan, we of course want The Bears to win.

A full of himself Payton Manning would be too much to bear, (pun intended), in the next season.  We also want The Bears to win because it is there turn. In the book, Everything You Need To Know, You Learn in Kindergarten, waiting your turn is very important. 

We plan to ignore the game and see what the score is on MyYahoo! once in a while.

We came over to Vox to see an entry on Leo LaPorte's LOL blog regarding his no longer coming up here to Toronto.  He's moved his show to B.C.  We wanted to leave a comment, but VOX wouldn't let us unless we joined. So, we joined.  During the sign up, we were hit with an inane query as to who taught bicycling riding.  I chose to answer, inanely of course.

We have a few dozen other blogs under the title of Grazing this and that.  The home blog, with no grazing in the title is Belltowernews.com.  We inherited this URL from a church who no longer wanted to pay us for its use.
