Contest Winner and Some Brief Blog Housekeeping

Sorry for the delay on writing this post. I figure that folks are always pretty excited about a contest, right? In total, I had 19 entries into the contest before last night's deadline. So, first things first, thank you all for the great response. I didn't really have any expectations, but those numbers certainly made me happy! I ran the names through the 'randomizer' nine times earlier this morning and the results are in...

...and the winner is The Lost Collector!!! Congrats! Since there was such a great response, I'll also be sending a 'prize pack' out to arpsmith! Since I haven't had the pleasure of trading with either of you fine gentlemen, please send me an email with your contact info: tim (dot) trisomenc (at) gmail (dot) com

I will piece together customized packages and send them out as quickly as I can. Thanks again to everyone for the great responses and thanks for reading!

Now, on to blog housekeeping. Tomorrow morning I will be taking my wife to Duke University Hospital so that they can induce labor for the delivery of our third daughter. In most aspects of my day to day life, this has been a pretty well kept secret, but the cat is out of the bag. Depending on how things go over the next few days, I may or may not have the capacity to compose posts for the immediate future. I realize it's entirely possible that no one would have even noticed I was gone for however long, so I'm not trying to be presumptuous. I resume 'normal' posting as soon as I can. One last thanks to all of you for reading and making my first anniversary contest a really encouraging thing!
