Blue Beanie Day Is Coming!

Monday, 26. October 2009, 02:11:48

, , ,



The third annual Blue Beanie Day will be celebrated on Monday, November 30th, 2009

Thousands of Standardistas (people who support web standards) will wear a Blue Beanie to show their support for accessible, semantic web content. :yes:

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. :D (Or get creative with Photoshop). Then, on November 30, switch your profile picture on My.Opera, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, (and any other social network) and post your photo to the Blue Beanie Day group!

Could it possibly get any easier? Ummm, no! DO IT!!! :headbang:




Happy Birthday, Sarah! ♥Halloweeny Random Randomness©

I am already planing on wearing my Blue Beanie

Karen 26. October 2009, 02:23

Hells yeah! :headbang: All of us need to! :D

Don't forget to take a picture of yourself wearing it! :up:

Linda 26. October 2009, 02:31

What you are showing as a beanie cap is what I call a toboggan, but I think I already have a blue one---I have several. Does it have to be a particular color blue?

Charles Schloss 26. October 2009, 02:45

Mine from last year is still in the photo album on MyO

Matthew 26. October 2009, 03:47

November 30? Are you going to remind us? Goodness! That's a lifetime from now!

:lol: Yes, I will remind you! I might even make this a sticky post. p:

hi Carol! :D


Charles Schloss 26. October 2009, 04:35

I have it as a count down on My blog already :smile:

Karen 26. October 2009, 04:36

UPDATE: It's sticky! :yes:

Carol 26. October 2009, 04:43

Hi Karen :happy:

*phew*

I forget to eat lunch. I'll never remember something in late November.

Bud McDonnell 26. October 2009, 12:50

That looks more like a tuque than a beanie. Hell, it doesn't even have a proper propeller. Can't I just dye my hair blue?

Gavin Sheedy 26. October 2009, 16:33

Sounds like a Microsoft plot to make easy targets of us all :yikes:

Great idea!

I have no clue what web standards are. awww

Charles Schloss 26. October 2009, 17:55

What are web standards and why should I use them?

Karen 26. October 2009, 20:59

Yes, I think you should dye your hair blue, Bud! :yes:

Bud McDonnell 26. October 2009, 21:25

Unfortunately I have no way to post a picture. :frown: Otherwise I'd get a can of that temporary spray-on color.

Charles Schloss 26. October 2009, 21:56

You can post a picture in your MyO album, I am guessing there were be a blog post in the next few weeks about Blue Beanie Day

Karen 26. October 2009, 22:01

I'd assume so, too. They mentioned it last year.

Bud McDonnell 26. October 2009, 22:27

I have no way to get a picture into my phone to upload it. I need a bluetooth dongle for my computer I reckon.

Karen 26. October 2009, 22:45

w00t! Thanks, Chas. :D

John Douglas Ball 27. October 2009, 16:18

Sound like a good idea Karen I will have to get my helper to get me one with my shopping.

Karen 27. October 2009, 19:03

:yes: Awesome!

John Douglas Ball 27. October 2009, 19:20

I do love your cup of coffee much better than the ones I post.

Dennis 27. October 2009, 19:46

:lol: Hey, Karen!? Why not take Buds user pic and photoshop it. Then get his email address, and mail the pic. :smile:

Bud McDonnell 27. October 2009, 20:08

Make me good lookin' while your at it.

Dennis 27. October 2009, 20:39

Not even a :wizard: could make that happen! p:

Bud McDonnell 27. October 2009, 21:21

You'd be amazed what a spiffy blue beanie can do to enhance one's natural handsomeness.

John Douglas Ball 27. October 2009, 21:25

It would take more than a beanie in my case a mirical might work :yikes: :up: :coffee:

Dennis 27. October 2009, 21:42

Hence, the :wizard: smiley. :lol:

John Douglas Ball 27. October 2009, 22:39

I think it would take more than one in my case Dennis.Perhaps a whole coven of them as long as they don't pull the same trick my mirrors did when they saw me first thing in the morning and do a runner. :lol: :lol: :smile: :up: :coffee:

Dennis 28. October 2009, 11:01

With copy/paste we can make as many as we need, John! :up:

John Douglas Ball 28. October 2009, 11:23

Great idea Dennis.I will have to try that and post it on my blog.Thanks. :smile: :up: :coffee:

Sarah 28. October 2009, 11:59
