Today is March 12, 2014 -- and this is the first attempt at creating an EBS blog. It also happens to be the 25th anniversary of Tim Berners-Lee's proposal to improve information flow or, as he called it "a 'web' of notes with links between them". It's the 25th anniversary of what became the World Wide Web, something now so ubiquitous that it's hard to remember when we didn't have instant access to information.
