Digital Clouds

Spotted on twitter: Tagxedo a very easy way to make word clouds. I'm always in search of tools that turn data into smart and/or attractive visuals to spice up my presentations (both at work and for this blog). I'm a user of Wordle but Tagxedo offers many more possibilities: embedding, word filtering, upload of docs/url,... Click on the pictures to have a better view:

And what about my blog?

My blog, a way to start a conversation...

Zinneke? Never heard of it!

By using this term to describe themselves, Brusselers celebrate their multicultural background and ethnic diversity.

In our dialect, a zinneke is a mongrel dog and by extension, a person of mixed ethnic origin, just like the Brussels dialect itself which is a mixture of French and Flemish with influences from Spanish.(From the time when the Low Countries were under Spanish rule)

Brussels build up around a river called the Senne (FR)/Zenne (NL). Some say the name "zinneke" was used to refer to the dogs that roamed around near the river, others that it refers to the fact that they deserved to be thrown into the river.
