What is Europe? It’s actually a harder question to answer than it seems. Europe is both a political, cultural, and geographic concept, and Europe’s boundaries within each one of those categories are far from clear. I have heard several people say, “country x is the geographical center of Europe.” I most recently heard it from some Belorussians. Apparently, enough people have made competing claims that the great Wikipedia has decided to help sort it all ...

Remember those early days of blogging when people used blogs like link dumps? I don’t, ’cause I wasn’t even in highschool yet. Anyway, I did read the Wikipedia pages about blogging, so that’s how I know. These days, link blogs aren’t really popular anymore. People don’t need guides anymore. They have each other and share links on social bookmarking, social news sites, Friendfeed, Google Reader, and Twitter. But what if you combine all blog posts ...

Sameh El-Shahat tells us why it would be a good idea to split Belgium in two."Belgium is a little country sandwiched between France and Holland. It disappears periodically, whenever Germany goes on a shopping expedition for territory. Its most famous son is the intrepid reporter Tintin, responsible for solving many a curious international mystery.But “Tintin Saves Belgium From Self-Destruction” is one adventure of his that you won’t see in the bookshops anytime soon.

The building is characterized by its light structure, featuring large expanses of glass and off-kilter columns. The architects aim was to intentionally make the building appear fragile. This is further enhanced by its many angles and almost see through interior. Inside, a full length green wall connects the levels an ...

We love the idea of recycling old industrial structures into housing. "For a long time the owner was in love with an old water tower and the little park around it, outside of Antwerp. Although it was by no means possible to live in the old tower, since it was just a skeleton, with a ...

Belgian writer J. M. H. Berckmans (1953– 2008) died yesterday. Alternative Flanders mourns. He was Flanders’ celebrated cult author and the darling bipolar genius of the alternative press (De Morgen and Humo); where he played his role of tortured artist sometimes reluctantly, sometimes willingly. To me, J. M. H. Berckmans is the literary equivalent of photographer Stephan Vanfleteren[1]. Vanfleteren photographs real life outcasts and misfits of the kind featured in the novels of Berckmans. Berckmans ...

A news paper in Flanders (Belgium) published a translated version of this New York Times opinion piece by Op-Ed Columnist Thomas Friedman. He highlights two persons: Boone Pickens, a billionaire Texas oilman obsessed by wind power and Shai Agassi, a former software senior at SAP, now obsessed by electric cars. I was rather interested in reading about the latter person, since I’ve met/seen Mr Agassi a couple of times in the annual SAP Teched events ...

Since I got back from Brussels, I’ve been on a near-constant Belgian jag, getting reacquainted with the Trappist ales from Rochefort, Westmalle and Orval, even re-sampling three varieties of relatively easy-to-find Chimay (I’m a Cinq Cents kind of guy if anything). Next up? Achel’s Extra Bruin, a .75-liter wine bottle of goodness which scores in the ninety-ninth percentile at Ratebeer, the best-rated product from the smallest Trappist brewery. But I didn’t bring these great brews ...

Despite its celebrated consumption — downing more beers per capita than yellow dogs got fleas — the Czech Republic is also a beer-exporting country. 800 kilometers away, Belgium is just plain beer crazy, cooking with beer, opening new breweries, making outdated styles no one really likes anymore, and drinking plenty of it, including stuff from other countries. (The most popular style there, according to Tim Webb’s excellent Good Beer Guide Belgium, is Pilsner.) If the ...
