Blue Beanie Day is coming – get your Beanie on!

The sixth international “Blue Beanie Day” will be celebrated as early as November 30, 2012! BBD is an ongoing tradition based on the blue beanie Jeffrey Zeldman wore on the cover of his 2003 “Designing With Web Standards” book. Join the celebration and post a picture of yourself wearing a blue beanie to the BBD Flickr pool or just post it on Twitter.

Get your beanie on!

Let’s get you guys prepped to celebrate and show your support for Web Standards, let’s get you some blue beanies! Post a comment to this article and let me know why YOU support Web Standards. And do it fast, so I can mail out a blue beanie like the one in the picture to you in time for #BBD12!

Blue beanies are shipped while stocks last. Copy & paste your comment along with your shipping adress in an E-Mail to bbd@klick-ass.com. And if an international shipping should not make it in time, Jeffrey Zeldman has a solution for that.

Learn more about Blue Beanie Day on Zeldmans BBD page. Learn more on Adobes support for Web Standards on html.adobe.com.

The Graphical Web VIP Pass

It's a boat. On a lake. At the jetty.
That looks like a nice location for a dinner event. Bring your swimsuits! ;oD= (Image © zsg.ch)

The Graphical Web in Zurich, from September 11-14, is a conference for discussing what is aesthetically possible on the web. The speaker list reads like the who-is-who of the expressive web, so it’s definetely worth attending. I mean, despite your possibly different opinion: I’ll be there! ;oD=

You wanna go as well? Fine, no pumpkin’. Add a comment to this post and let me know which session proposal of the conference schedule catches you most, and why. Be creative, the comment I find most interesting wins a free VIP pass to The Graphical Web 2012 – including full access to all three conference days plus the workshop day plus the dinner event on a boat tripe across Zurich lake, worth 850 CHF (700 EUR, 888 USD)!!!
