This post is different from all the other ones, as the topic I will discuss today has nothing to do with software engineering, computer science, free/open source software, or academia. Instead, it has to do with a charity, and facial hair.
Just like I did four years ago as part of a team of postgraduate students from The Open University, I will once again take part in the global Movember fundraiser. Movember is an international charity event that raises money for, and awareness about, men’s health issues. In particular, Movember supports testicular and prostate cancer research, cancer survivor support charities, mental health charities, and a bunch of other related organisations. The full list is available on the Movember website.

Last shave of my upper lip this morning
The volunteers, of which I am one, start the month of November with a clean shave, and then grow a moustache for a month. Volunteers can be part of teams, and this year I am a member of the (excellent, of course) Seibukan Aikido team.
You, reader, are of course very welcome to support me and my team in this entertaining (for you) and embarrassing (for me) month, by donating to Movember. I may or may not post pictures here as my moustache grows, but they will certainly be available on my Movember page. Enjoy, and thank you in advance for your generosity.
