On the Bristol ESPN campus, there’s a flagpole outside the cafe that normally flies a red ESPN flag. On certain occasions, the pole flies a special flag; for instance, when Disney President Bob Iger recently visited, a Disney flag flew. Well, for an unknown reason today, four alphabet signal flags were flying. I assumed they spelled out ESPN, but I had to verify. Enter myPhone and the app Wikipanion, a mobile-formatted version of The Wiki. From the international maritime signal flags page, I confirmed the flags spelled ESPN. Not sure why, though. I don’t think Captain Jack Sparrow was sailing with the Black Pearl through Bristol today.
