The free stickers were all mailed Monday. Here’s a quick statistical breakdown, courtesy of my wife:
| United States | 320 |
| Canada | 49 |
38 of the 50 states were represented. The states with zero sticker requests were: HI, KS, LA, MS, MT, ND, NM, RI, SD, VT, WV and WY. Here are the top 10 states:

Contrary to popular belief, I am fully aware that the United States isn’t the only country in the world. Here’s a breakdown of the international orders to date:

Although the free sticker offer is over, you can still buy a set of 4 stickers for $3. They’re usually mailed the same day.
Will Sullivan's is appropriately positioned next to a real coding horror.
Bryan Likes created the infinite cat project recursive version.
Here's one from my fellow developers at Vertigo. If you work with me, I'll give you a sticker. But only grudgingly.
Sam Livingston-Gray put his to good use covering up that hideous Apple logo. Bonus points for real-life simulation!
Matt Blodgett evidently doesn't own a digital camera. But he does have mad MS Paint skills.
My old friend Geoff Dalgas created this animated version of the sticker.
Brian Stephens works on Titan Quest, which doesn't play like a Coding Horror.
Bryan Kramer sighted his at a Jacksonville, Florida Code Camp during a marathon not-for-profit coding session.
David Howell gave his sticker a place of honor in his cube.
Nathan Birkes used his sticker to pimp out his Grand Prix. Stylin'!
Steve Makofsky works at Microsoft. Guess what part of Vista he worked on?
Martin Marconcini is going for sticker symmetry on his Ford Focus.
If you have any Coding Horror sticker or T-shirt “action shots,” email them to me, and I’ll post them here.
