Don a Blue Beanie in support of Web Standards

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

BBDConsidering the name of my company, this is a no-beaner brainer. This Monday, November 30th is the 3rd Annual Blue Beanie Day. According to the Facebook page,

“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. Beg, borrow, or buy a Blue Beanie and snap a photo of your mug wearing the blue. (Or get creative with Photoshop). Then on November 30, switch your profile picture in Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, (and any other social network) and post your photo to the Blue Beanie Day group … watch for more information coming soon.

Tweetups and Beanie-ups are being planned all over the globe … watch for more information coming soon…

I always wear a blue hat (beanie?) but this one is special. :-)
