[...] As I mentioned previously, last Thursday I had the pleasure of seeing Seth Godin live at the Improv in Tempe (and like Seth, I found it odd to be sitting in a nightclub at 8:00am) [...]

John Coley – your comment was trapped in my spam filter, which I didn't find until AFTER the drawing. Sorry about that. I'll put your name in the "hat" twice for the next one.

I've been getting slammed with a couple of hundred spam comments a day, and some were starting to slip through the filters. So I cranked up the threshold some. I may have gone too far… I'll dial it back a little.

Damn the spammers!

I win I win I win! First, I'd like to thank Excel, for making this all possible, and a big thanks to random number generators everywhere, I love you all!

OK folks…..

I put all the names in a spreadsheet. Then I used the Excel formula "=RAND()*100" to generate a random number between 0 – 100 for each entry. Highest number gets the copy of The Dip…

Just to make sure I didn't get confused by the massive list of entries and random numbers, the formula "=max(A2:A9)" pulls the high number, and a formula of "=VLOOKUP(B11,A2:B9,2)" finds that high number and returns the winners name.

What can I say, it's the old semiconductor engineer in me…

Must have been that last second plea to the Excel gods…

I'm going to write up a post about The Dip in the next couple of days and we'll do another drawing…..

I live in Phoenix and had no idea about this. Nor have I ever heard of Seth. But, reading his bog has definitely sparked my interest.

Pick me… Pick me!

Throw me into the v-hat as well. My luck is horrible, but these odds don't seem too bad.
