5:53 p.m.

What is the time of Capsun’s birth, Alex?

Yes, that was a reference to Jeopardy!, my favorite game show.  Don’t you know how much of a nerd I am?

Let’s get down to the contest, because I know that’s why everyone came to visit today. From the title of this post, you can tell that the correct answer to my question from Saturday is 5:53 p.m. The guesses were all over the place, but I did enjoy reading some of the logic behind some of the answers.  Interestingly, this was a harder question that I originally thought.  My own dad couldn’t remember.  He guessed sometime in the morning and even recounted the whole story from when my mom’s water broke.  I dutifully informed him that the birth certificate indicated otherwise.

So who is the winner? Commenter #8, @macratlove, who blogs over at http://sophielynette.wordpress.com/ wins for this submission:  Happy Birthday. Everyone is always wanting me to try out the moleskins, so I’m going to guess 6:27pm. I remembered this about her as she mentioned it when I met her for the first time at the Honolulu Twestival.  @macratlove was 34 minutes off from the correct answer. Of course, I’d point out that it’s Moleskine, pronounced “mole-a-SKEEN-a” – read this for more details on that.

Congratulations, @macratlove! For her efforts, she wins a Moleskine Volant and Moleskine Cahier.  I know I said the winner would only get one of them, but I feel like being generous, especially since @macratlove is likely to love Moleskine as much as I do.  She also wins a congratulatory ad on Chang Ads, but in my haste to inform her last night, I forgot to submit my ad to Mr. Chang.  You can check there for it, or wait for me to Tweet it.

Anyone who followed my last contest knows that I like multiple winners.  So the next “winner” I want to announce is Commenter #23, Aprilkins, who said,  I will say 12:30am… She was 17 hours, 23 minutes off! Far and away the one furthest from the correct answer.  For her effort and putting up with my teasing, she gets a Moleskine Cahier, too.

They say things like this come in threes, so the last prize of a Moleskine Cahier goes to Commenter #10, Damon, for this:  Old FUT! Happy Birthday! http://tinyurl.com/b4mdjn. As a blogger, I have to admit that a whole blog entry wishing me a Happy Birthday is a pretty good way to help win a prize during a contest.  Thanks for that recognition, Damon.

Mahalo!
