Coding Horror Stickers

August 15, 2006

As I alluded to in the T-Shirt post, Coding Horror stickers have arrived:

Coding Horror stickers

These are custom, two color die-cut vinyl stickers based on the high resolution vector art so graciously provided by our kind benefactor, Steve McConnell. To give you an idea of scale, the coin in the picture is a nickel.

As a thank you to my readers, anyone who emails me from now until midnight PDT Wednesday, August 16th gets a free Coding Horror sticker. Please make the title of the email "free sticker", and don't forget to provide your full postal address. You must live in the US or Canada.*

Update: we've reached 350 stickers; the free sticker offer is now closed. I totally blame Mike Gunderloy. I'll try to get all the stickers out by Monday. I think you'll really like them!

United States
$4 for 4 stickers 		International
$4 for 3 stickers

* Sorry, international readers. Dealing with postage rate scales makes my tiny American brain hurt.

Is there a smaller, coin-sized version? I'd like to have one on my T-40 side on side with Designed for Windows XP sticker ;-)

Jeff,
I don't have a Paypal account and am too lazy to try to find out why Paypal will consistenly fail to create me an account.
On the other hand, I have $3 in my wallet that I'll be happy to send together with a self-addressed envelope.

Should I send it to your Vertigo address or to your home address ? (Note: I don't know your home address!)

TIA,

Hi Serge, you can send it to me c/o my Vertigo address.

Jeff Atwood on August 15, 2006 2:50 AM

To the international readers out there: Always look on the bright side of life. You're only $3 away from the stickers!

- Serge, yet another int'l reader.

To jeffm - we didn't get the horse... :)

Ah, great. Another foreign reader happy.

Just to keep you busy, how about a refrigerator magnet of the exact same design?

jdkludge on August 15, 2006 8:37 AM

Can you make a link to the vector file, so we (intl' readers) can print our own stickers.

Thanks for the free sticker offer, Mr. Atwood. (Some of the earlier commenters may want to brush up on the following topic: http://www.goenglish.com/DontLookAGiftHorseInTheMouth.asp )

Nice stickers!

Someone should get their entrepreneur on and send stickers overseas for you. And you should charge $5 and make a little bit of pocket to cover your time. Your offer is too generous!

You have a great site and a little cash might keep you from burnout. I'd happily pay today for an article next Tuesday....

I sincerely apologize to my international readers. The problem isn't the postage, per se, it's the additional fulfillment effort! It's going to be a lot of work just for US/Canada.

We're already at ~275 "free sticker" emails..

Jeff Atwood on August 15, 2006 10:00 AM

That's mighty kind of you Jeff.

Just hope that you don't get slashdotted!

RedRock Dave on August 15, 2006 10:14 AM

I should read your blog in the morning, not at lunch...We'll if I miss this freebie, I'll just have to get a shirt. Thx Atwood.

Jeff,

When I read Mike Gunderloy's Daily Grind entry regarding your free stickers, I knew you were done for.

Tod Birdsall on August 15, 2006 1:26 PM

Damn my international residence!

NonDev on August 15, 2006 1:37 PM

Now the fun begins. You need to set up an interactive map so that "sticker sightings" can be recorded across the world. Soon you will garner so much fame you can run for office, get elected, help the free world!

Got my sticker, it now adorns my PC laptop. Thanks very much!

Andrew Shebanow on August 24, 2006 3:46 AM

I got my sticker today as well, I posted a picture up on my blog.

I was wondering... how well do you think it will stick to my laptop? I'd like to be able to remove it if I ever sell this thing... but I also don't want it to start peeling. Thoughts?

Ben Scheirman on August 24, 2006 9:39 AM

Hello can you please email me if you can send me a sticker? Please? PLEASE? Thank you for your time.

I paid the $4 for international shipping on December 7th. I haven't received any confirmation or anything. Oh well, I'm not so sorry for the money, but more because I would really liked to get those stickers.

Johannes H on January 3, 2011 12:44 AM

I take it back. Stickers came today. It just took a month, but they're awesome. Thank you!
