<blockquote>
  <p>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 <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/bluebeanieday2007/">Blue Beanie Day group at Flickr</a>.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I don't have a blue beany, but I do have a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beret#Other_associations">French beret</a>. I know, I know, it is very cheesy... but hey! I'm French.

<p>Hi Ken, </p>

<p>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. </p>

<p>What else would you like to buy if we had W3C goodies?</p>

<p>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?"  </p>

<p>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. </p>
