I had an idea, why not see how this would go? I’m always looking for more people to read my blog, so I thought that if I offered you the chance to win something for spreading the word – you might appreciate it. No strings attached. I pay for the Netbook and I’ll pay for the shipping. If you don’t want to help spread the word, that’s fine too – you’ll still get a shot.

Here’s the contest:
I have a jar of loose change (pictured) that is being counted by a digital tracker my girlfriend was nice enough to buy me. I want you to guess the exact amount of money in this jar…..

Note: This contest is now closed. Thank you to all that entered.

I will not add any more coins to this jar – it is exactly as you see it in the pictures. The person who guesses right, wins. The contest will close on Feb 15th, 2010. I will update this page with more details and the netbook shipped shortly after.

Pictures: 

Updates!
Feb 14th – I have pictures of the Netbook to share. Here’s what it looks like:

Feb 9th – Some have asked about how they might enter this contest if all they use is Facebook. Did you know that you can send an email right out of Facebook? To enter the contest with Facebook – go to your Facebook messages and click on the button (top-right) labelled “+New Message”. Enter the details this way (and send):

Feb 4th – I have been asked how a second guess could be arranged if you don’t have a Twitter or  Facebook account? That’s ok! 


Feb 2nd – Some have asked for pictures that will help with the size of the jar. I have taken pictures of the jar with a standard-sized CD-ROM.
