Here's one for all the vexillologists out there. The USA has 50 states, and each of them has a flag. Even if you live in the States, you probably haven't seen them all and many of them are ... surprising. Take the "typography" on Oregon's flag to start:
The Washington post has an hilarious tongue-in-cheek review of each of the 50 state flags which had me laughing out loud. On the other hand, the flag of my birth state features a bird doing the YMCA perched on a rectal thermometer, so I probably shouldn't laugh too loudly.
That's all for this week. We'll be back on Monday, reporting from the useR! conference in Denmark. If you're one of the 650+ registered attendees, we look forward to seeing you there!
