25th March 1995: WikiWikiWeb

Qwiki video about the launch of the first user-editable website. FYI: the first user-editable website and the application behind it were developed by Ward Cunningham. This man deserves a medal "For services rendered to Humanity Knowledge"... or something like that.

7th March : Alexander Graham Bell patents the Phone

I'm a huge fan of Qwiki and the e-newsletter with links to (new) content. I consider Qwiki as the future of web search and to some extent: the encyclopedias.

Today in my mailbox: Alexander Graham Bell patented the Phone on this day in 1876. Can you imagine one day without yours? (Euh... I can... ... I use my mobile as alarm clock. And because I'm already thinking about the 1000 things to do... So my mobile stay at home, next to my bed)

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.
