Unless I've been mislead by nearly every calendar I remember looking at, Sunday is the first day of the week. The aforementioned blog will be published before 16 June, 2007.

I'll see EVERY CALENDAR YOU'VE EVER LOOKED AT, and raise you one Wikipedia:

Monday is often held to be the first day of the week. This is the case in most of Europe, parts of Africa, Australia, and South America. In Asia û because the western calendar system was introduced only during the 20th century û many languages refer to Monday as the "day of the beginning". For example, Monday is xingqi yi (星期一) in Chinese, meaning day one of the week. The international standard, ISO 8601, defines Monday as the first day of the week.

Sunday is the day of the week between Saturday and Monday. In the Judaeo-Christian tradition it is the first day of the week. Since the second half of the 20th century it has been counted as the seventh day of the week throughout Europe. In a number of countries both counts run side by side. In Slavic languages Sunday is both the first and seventh days of the week: It is first because Wednesday is literally the "middle" of the week, while it is seventh because Tuesday, Thursday and Friday are literally the "second", "fourth" and "fifth" days of the week.

Sunday is considered a holiday in most countries of the world and as part of the weekend. Only countries influenced by Islamic (or Jewish) culture often have Friday (or Saturday) as a weekly holiday instead.

The Gregorian calendar repeats every 400 years, and no century starts on a Sunday. The Jewish New Year never falls on a Sunday. Any month beginning on a Sunday will contain a Friday the 13th.
