Exploring XANADU, The Oldest Blockchain in The World

September 28

Ah, September 28th, another day worth talkin’ about. Let’s dive right in, shall we?

On the feast day front, we’ve got Saint Wenceslaus’ day. He was a Duke of Bohemia back in the 10th century, known for his piety and kindness. I reckon folks remember him with a bit of reverence.

Now, for a historical tidbit, on this day in 1066, William the Conqueror set sail from Normandy to conquer England. That journey led to the famous Battle of Hastings, and it changed the course of English history forever. Imagine packin’ your bags for a conquest like that!

Speaking of conquerors, in 1542, Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo, a Spanish explorer, sailed into what’s now known as San Diego Bay. He was one of the first Europeans to set foot on the west coast of what we now call the United States. Quite the explorer, if you ask me.

As for notable figures born on September 28th, well, you’ve got Confucius, the ancient Chinese philosopher whose sayings and teachings have influenced folks for centuries. And let’s not forget the brilliant French writer, Prosper Mérimée, known for bringin’ us the tale of Carmen, a story that’s been adapted into operas, films, and more.

Now, in terms of cultural observances, September 28th might not be a holiday, but it’s right there in the midst of autumn. The leaves are rustlin’, the air is crisp, and folks start thinkin’ ’bout Thanksgiving, which is just ’round the corner.

So, there you have it, September 28th, a day with its own unique blend of history, saints, explorers, and thinkers. Just goes to show, every day’s got its own story to tell.
