Popebilly3 is very new to Wikipedia's editing portion and will probably tag everything he can. He has changed a few minor things before making an account. If you think you recognize his username, you may have seen it online while playing on the Microsoft's Xbox One or Xbox 360. He also has a free account through Pogo.com where he plays pool and several other games. Popebilly3 may seem like a gamer, but he gets bored easily and starts something new. If he remembers and isn't bored yet, he will update this page with the random stuff he does, sorta like a social media page with excruciating detail about his interests.

Vexillology
Vexillology is the study of flags. A recent TED video, caught my attention about flag design and made me think about my city flag. According to Ted Kaye, Member of the North American Vexillological Association, there are five basic principles of flag design.


 * 1) Keep it Simple - The flag should be so simple that a child can draw it from memory.
 * 2) Use Meaningful Symbolism - The flag’s images, colors, or patterns should relate to what it symbolizes.
 * 3) Use 2-3 Basic Colors - Limit the number of colors on the flag to three, which contrast well and come from the standard color set: red, blue, green, black, yellow, and white.
 * 4) No Lettering or Seals - Never use writing of any kind or an organization’s seal.
 * 5) Be Distinctive or Be Related - Avoid duplicating other flags, but use similarities to show connections

Following the five laws about flag design talked about in the video the flag of Lake Charles, Louisiana does not follow these criteria. The city seal is sitting in the middle of a gold box. This also made me question the state flag, Flag of Louisiana, and it is a pelican in her piety with wording.

After watching the video and reading up on flag design, I propose that we change the state flag to a more refined flag and the Lake Charles to one that would rival them all.
