Well, me too!  The blue puzzle piece represents a charity, Autism Speaks. 

Some of Hollywood’s biggest stars showed their support for Autism Speaks and its mission of autism awareness and research by wearing the organization’s distinctive blue puzzle piece lapel pin on their tuxedos and gowns during last night’s Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles. Golden Globe winner Alec Baldwin (30 Rock), nominee Steve Carell (The Office), nominee Masi Oka (Heroes) and presenters Tina Fey (30 Rock) and John Stamos (E.R.) were among those who made the fashion statement. Autism Speaks is dedicated to increasing awareness of the growing autism epidemic – 1 in 166 children is now diagnosed with autism — and to raising money to fund scientists who are searching for a cure. It was founded in February 2005 by Suzanne and Bob Wright, whose grandson has autism. Bob Wright is Vice Chairman and Executive Officer, General Electric, and Chairman and CEO, NBC Universal.
