  1. It was a Bible cover

    It was a Bible cover

    Basically, Trayce must have cheated. I say that jokingly, but I’m not entirely convinced it’s untrue. She managed to guess that the object was in fact a Bible cover. It could have been leather for any of a thousand things, but she nailed it. That’s just crazy.
    She will be added to the page of winners soon. [...]

  2. Guess What It Is!

    Guess What It Is!

    I got my macro extension tube recently. It lets me get ridiculously close to things. This is my first “Guess What It Is” post since it arrived. Now that I can make things more difficult, maybe I’ll start offering prizes.
    You can see previous objects and who guessed them on the Page of Winners, and you might [...]

  3. It was an audio connector

    It was an audio connector

    Well, Matt guessed it. Although, he wasn’t as specific as he could have been. His guess was “TS/TRS connector either 1/4 or 1/8th inch.” and it was an 1/4th inch TRS connector.
    Will was also pretty close to right, but it wasn’t part of a guitar cable, it’s part of a 1/8th to 1/4th inch adapter.
    Sorry [...]

  4. It was a drill bit

    It was a drill bit

    This is a tough one to judge. Megan got the answer first, but she wasn’t very specific. Kim came in next with a more specific answer.
    I’m going to say Kim won since she was the first to guess it exactly. I’d be more concerned with getting it exactly right if the contest was harder. This [...]

  5. Guess What It Is!

    Guess What It Is!

    It’s that time again! Time to play the nifty guessing game. This one might be a bit easier. I need to get a macro lens for my camera so I can get closer to stuff.
    Anyway, post your guesses. This one will end tomorrow (04/05/10) at 5PM. You can check out the Page of Winners to [...]

  6. It was a stack of CD’s!

    It was a stack of CD's!

    If you couldn’t tell, I’m slowly raising the level of difficulty for these games. The last one was guessed on the first try. This one took until the second guesser. Ron won this round. He’ll soon be added to the Page of Winners.
    The next one will be coming soon. Rather than checking back in a [...]

  7. It was a fork!

    It was a fork!

    Well, that was an easier round. I figured I’d be nice before I post some of the other ones I’ve taken. Megan won this one, and will be up on the Page of Winners soon.
    Check back soon for more pictures to guess. You can subscribe or follow me on Twitter if you want to make [...]

  9. It was a Sharpie!

    It was a Sharpie!

    I didn’t think anyone would guess it. My dad (Michael) guessed it correctly first, but Phoenix was the most accurate. I’m gonna give it to my dad, since there wasn’t anything about the picture that would give away what specific kind of marker it is, and Phoenix probably just guessed that (and did so last).
    He’ll [...]

  10. Guess What It Is!

    Guess What It Is!

    My friend just got a camera. This, of course, prompted me to get back into photography again. This, of course, prompted me to find a new subject for a “Guess What It Is” picture. Guessing ends Wednesday (12/30/09) at noon Eastern.
    Please check out the Page of Winners to see our previous winners, and to find out [...]

  11. It was an eraser!

    It was an eraser!

    Alright, that one was pretty obvious. I’ll try to make it harder next time. It was an eraser. Larry was the most accurate, but Chris was really the first to get it. He’ll go up on the page of winners soon. Thanks for playing, everyone. Stay tuned for the next picture.

  12. Guess What It Is!

    Guess What It Is!

    Yup, it’s that time again! I haven’t done one in a while. Guessing will end Thursday (12/17), at noon Eastern. That’s also when I’m planning on revealing the answer.
    Check out the Page of Winners to see our previous winners, and to find out what’s been done already.
    Have fun!

  13. It was a twist tie!

    It was a twist tie!

    Well, it looks like Will would have won, except the tie actually came off something else (don’t remember what, but it wasn’t bread). Which makes Mike the winner, since he was the first to guess it. He’ll be added to the page of winners.
    Stay tuned for another (and hopefully a bit more difficult) round!

    It’s been a while, but it is time (once again) for another game of “Guess What it is!” Guessing will end Saturday (11-21-09)  at noon. The answer will be revealed somewhere around then (hopefully right at noon, but I might be busy).

  15. It was a leaf!

    It was a leaf!

    Justin guessed it first. I guess it was an easier picture. I was hoping someone might guess leather, or pleather, or… anything but a leaf. Anyway, check out the recently updated page of winners to see the results so far.
    Stay tuned for the next round!

  17. It was a pencil shaving!

    It was a pencil shaving!

    Sunday’s picture was a pencil shaving! It was pretty hard to guess given how close a macro the picture was. I’m sorry I didn’t get this up quite on time.
    Technically, no one was able to guess the picture. Grace and my mom (Cheryl) were the closest. They’ll go on the page of winners later today.
