Well, we’ve got it down to five, and frankly, I don’t think it works too well to mash them all together. So, now it’s up to you – there’s a ticket to Big Omaha on the line as well as a name that will help set the reputation for the little guy that’s about to be in the big spotlight.
Congrats to our five finalists, in alphabetical order: Analog, submitted by Robert Murphy; Blip, submitted by Matt Heller; Bob, submitted by Robert; Gus, submitted by Julie; and Walter, submitted by Hillary Sinn.
Voting ends at midnight Thursday, April 30th and the winner will be announced Friday, May 1st.
