Get your Ram Disk out for charity
Tonight sees the launch of the Nude Lond Tech Calendar for Charity.
Available through online retailer Firebox for £10, the calendar features 24 of the biggest names –12 male, 12 female – in the London tech start-up industry (and Mike Butcher). Proceeds from sale of the calendar (it’s a tenner) are going towards Take Heart India, which is a charity focused on IT education projects for blind and disabled students in India.
For all the hiding behind the Smashy and Nicey “Charidee” call, there’s some smart thinking here from some of the most disruptive minds in the UK tech sector:
These people are the continuation of Punk Rock, because they represent creative disruption. Want me to spell it out? They don’t give a fuck. They think nothing of disrobing for a charity, whether other people think it’s shocking or not.
And that’s what startups are about: not caring that someone says you’re wrong and it’s not a good idea. Just getting on and doing something. And that’s what Punk was about. Picking up a guitar even though you couldn’t play.
Thanks to Mike Butcher at Techcrunch Europe for the Punk reasoning to get naked! Now go buy one!
