Geeky Holidays Party excuses for the geek in everyone.

Geek Holiday: : Korean Alphabet Day

Also called Hangul Day or Hangul Proclamation Day, this Korean national day of commemoration (unfortunately no longer a legal holiday) celebrates the invention and the proclamation of hangul (한글), the native alphabet of the Korean language, by King Sejong the Great. It is observed on January 15 in North Korea and October 9 in South Korea. Every country needs an alphabet day!

Geek events to celebrate on January 9:

1759 – The British Museum opens, allowing geeks to develop their brain-stash of useless trivia.

2001 – Wikipedia goes online. The world changes forever.
