After looking at all the entries, I find that many made it through their challenges and got them completed on time. 
Remember, there were no restrictions on the nature or number of projects selected, just that they had to finish one before starting another. It was gratifying to see that some went that extra mile and actually finished multiple challenges. We should all be impressed by the level of workmanship on these projects. Even those that didn’t quite make it to the finish line, did well with what they did. I do not want to make a judgment on who finished far enough to warrant being in the voting poll, so everyone that entered will appear in the poll, even those that never got too far into their projects. A few weren’t even able to step onto the field to play; they will be listed in the poll anyway, just to show they had good intentions. Some got far enough along for us to see the progress, but ran out of time and there were those who did all that they planned on doing. Consider all of these things when voting.
You may select one or as many entries as you like. Note that those who did more than one project have each one listed separately. Vote as you wish, but consider their effort in achieving their goals, the complexity of their project and how well they accomplished what they started out to do. Someone might not have finished, but might deserve a vote based on their performance. Also, only consider any posts that were made before the April 22 cutoff date. Any posts after that are great for follow-up only, and are appreciated. If you're undecided, you can vote for everyone if that’s your wish, just that we'd appreciate your vote to show that you support everyone's efforts.
This poll will run for two weeks until around noon my time, May 6th. As always, there will not be any prizes awarded, but the top three will get a Big Blue award certificate and have bragging rights.
If, for some reason I didn't include your entry, misspelled your name, got your project or link wrong, or screwed up in some other way, please let me know so I can correct things. But do it quickly since the last time I edited a poll, we lost all the votes up to that point. :oops: :oops: I can't help that, it's the way the software works....
