Coding Horror Sightings
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:
| CA | 32 |
| TX | 26 |

| FL | 16 |
| PA | 13 |

| Quebec | 10 |
| British Columbia | 9 |

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:
| United Kingdom | 7 |
| Australia | 3 |

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. |
