As you may have seen mentioned here before, this site's tiny mascot has also been chosen as the symbol of the Chilean version of the One Laptop Per Child movement, which is using these a series of adorable little soft figures as part of the campaign.

Turns out the talented source of this cuteness is named Lizette Greco, and her Flickr set of puduitude is presented in slide show form here. Prepare to want one for yourself.

Thing is, the money you'd spend on it could help put a laptop in a kid's hands. So that would be even cooler and cuter.
