The guys over at Blog Action Day really deserves an applause. By now, over 12,000 blogs have participated in the event and that’s over 12 million readers in estimated audience!

In summary, Blog Action Day is about generating awareness on a particular subject though mass participation - this year poverty.
The idea: awareness through social media.
The weapon: blog posts.
The goal: fighting poverty through enlightment. Brilliant!

Well, for me to do my own contribution, I will ask you to consider buying a Simple Living t-shirt from Nadia Plesner Foundation. My cousine Kasper at A Question Of is delivering the fairtrade t-shirts, brought in directly from a well-established factory in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.

One of the chapters I’ve just finished describes a range of different internal employee codes and procedures that contains different meanings. I’m not sure what is true, if anything, and it would be great if anybody could elaborate on it with me. Nonetheless, it’s cool - and even more cool if it proves to be true!

Focus on the above is on the colors as they are the most interesting parts. Very effectful, but somehow also rather “flashy” in a webdesign cliché sort of way - what to you think?

There’s a number of different camera models to choose from and it’s quite of a challenge to figure out the corresponding film that fits to the cameras. The most old school, and classiest one, I’ve stumbled upon is the SX-70 - an old high-class Land Camera produced by Polaroid Corporation. There’s also a related model called the OneStep which can’t be folded, but has a more retro vibe to it.

The one I’m going for is going to be either of the two above. eBay has lot for sale and also QXL and DBA (which are two danish online trading portals) have a few. I have totally fallen in love with a pearl white OneStep with a round lense and a great retro feel to it:
