Today is Blue Beany Day. A good opportunity to be goofy with an excuse ;)
Monday, November 26, 2007 is the day thousands of Standardistas (people who support web standards) will wear a Blue Beanie to show their support for accessible, semantic web content. It's easy to show your support for web design done right. Put on a Blue Beanie and snap a photo. Then on November 26, switch your profile picture in Facebook or other social Network and post your photo to the Blue Beanie Day group at Flickr.
I don't have a blue beany, but I do have a French beret. I know, I know, it is very cheesy... but hey! I'm French. And if you want to see W3C Team on Blue Beany Steroids.
Okay where can we get the mug and/or other W3C stuff?
Hi Ken,
We do not sell them. You will have to bribe me a high price for getting one ;) Just kidding. But your comment is nowadays interesting.
What else would you like to buy if we had W3C goodies?
For me the coffee cup would be most cool, but T-shirts, sweatshirts would also be good. Playing off of the HTML/XHTML/CSS validation buttons could also be fun. Maybe for instance a coffee cup that had the W3C logo like in the picture with a caption below that says "Is your code valid?"
I know if I had developers working for me and they came into my office with a problem I'd pick up the W3C "Is your code valid?" mug and start to drink from it before they had a chance to ask their question as a not so subtle hint. The "Is your code valid?" coffee cup would be good to give away/sell at web conferences. Heck you should send a few cases of them to Microsoft.
