Widget Watch: Flip a Coin

I've made nearly every single one of my large life decisions by flipping a coin. I thoughtfully narrow everything down to two choices, call one choice heads, the other choice tails, and flip the coin while saying a prayer. I rarely call do-overs. I rarely switch to best two out of three. I just flip and go with it.

Now, I have a 1962 silver quarter that I use for such decisions, but, nevertheless this Flip a Coin Dashboard Widget could prove useful if I ever find myself without a real coin. Maybe I'll start using this widget for making all of my "virtual" decisions. Cool. Free. Check it out.

I used the Magic 8-ball widget to decide on which tattoo to get first. I've also used it a couple times to see if someone was worth dating and it's usually right. I'm not sure if I would trust the coin widget though -- if it gave me the "wrong" answer to my question, I'd probably pull out a real coin and blame the computer. Fishes, narco.
