After eating a piece of humble pie, I realized that the afternoon would call for a bit of creativity when it came to announcing the winner of the Coconut Robot giveaway. In a move that would've made MacGyver proud, I used two of the baby's toy blocks to prop my cell phone up on our coffee table. Then Nathaniel and I settled onto the living room floor to film the sequence where he chose the giveaway winner.
What should have been a twenty minute process of editing the video and uploading it to Flickr turned into a four-hour marathon wherein the video could not be detected by my computer and where I aged roughly six years as I loaded and reloaded a single file countless times.
The end result was a video that was oriented properly and was just under the maximum time-limit, but unfortunately you can't see the number Nathaniel selected. Mostly because the video quality resembles the 90's version of Pong. Thank you, Verizon.
So as I'm saving my pennies for a video camera that comes with instructions, including a big red arrow that says POWER CORD HERE, feel free to watch Nathaniel select our winner!
