Well I ran into a problem on the winner of the $50 gift certificate. You see, when other bloggers do these things, all the comments are numbered. The comments on my blog page aren't that sophisticated (yet). Every comment comes in as it is entered so this presented a problem. With the highly technical mind that I possess it didn't take me too long to come up with a solution.
It seemed entirely logical to just print out all the comments ( about 180) and spread out the paper and just throw a dart up in the air. The dart would land (hopefully) on a comment and a winner would be chosen.
OK, this sounds easy enough, but what about the elements...what about the wind...
And then the dogs, what about them.
As I put these pictures up I realize there is a whole lot to me to learn. I will get my tech guy to help me out. He lent me the dart. He can help with so many problems I have.
Back to those dogs...
I have some very helpful critters you must admit. All this sophisticated random picking of a winner is in the back yard at my office. My dogs are working dogs and they take their job seriously.
But on to matters that you really care about. The winner...
I want you to realize that this process took the better part of my afternoon. I should have been inside typing invoices, or cooking rubber, but this was so new and fun. Did I tell you how happy I am for us all that it was on glorious day here in Nashville Tennessee.
Drum roll, as the dart falls ...
I only threw the dart one time! It had to be quick with all the obstacles in my way. I threw it straight up into the air and down it came. This method may be primitive but by golly, it works.
