@seb One of my favorite podcasts, 99 Percent Invisible, has done a few episodes about flags, all the way back to their 6th episode in 2010.

And the host, Roman Mars, did a TED Talk on the subject.

Time for an #introduction

I started on Mastodon to see how it would fit but now I've decided to deliberately spend more time here.

I'm a husband/father/technology professional (mostly database stuff) with an overarching interest in human flourishing and specific interests in #politics (things like #UncapTheHouse, #OpenPrimaries, and #RankedChoiceVoting would alter political incentives away from extremes), #religion, #education, #FlagDesign, #cooking, #sports (mostly college), and #BasicIncome
