One of my more popular – and controversial – posts to date is this one, so when fellow blogger and friend Elysa Rice approached me about a SXSW panel proposal with Tiffany Monhollon, Hannah Seligson and Ryan Healy, I was stoked to bring the online conversation to life.

We would all love it if you gave us the thumbs-up vote for our SXSW proposal. You don’t have to be attending the conference to vote, and if you are, we’d be thrilled if you also left a comment. We’re all huge fans of SXSW and think this would be an incredible conversation to have there.

With the New Year comes a renewed commitment to this blog, which has introduced me to Ryan and Alice, and has allowed me to succeed in ways I never thought possible. Much of that is due to the goodwill of all of you, my dear readers.  And so it is with great pleasure that I kick off the first week of 2010 with an exciting giveaway!

HP was kind enough to agree with me that I have some of the best readers on the planet, and are giving away an HP Pavilion dm3 Notebook PC to one lucky winner.

This thin and light notebook is perfect for on-the-go lifestyles and will easily travel with you to coffee shops, vlogging sessions, airplanes, photography outings, conferences, yoga class or whatever else your career and life desires.

I changed my design blog, modite / character, to be my personal blog. That’s all I really wanted to do anyway.

I also changed the url from modite.com/design to modite.com/character. Please update your bookmarks, and if you were subscribed before, you will need to re-subscribe. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Visit modite / character.

If you just want the original modite / career and life advice you’re still in the right place and don’t need to make any changes.

Thanks for your support!

For most bloggers, a comment is like gold. Except when it’s a big steaming nugget of crap.

Here’s what’s not allowed:

1. Personal Attacks on Me or Other Commenters. For example:

Your article is sickening and feminist bastards like you should be shunned whenever possible.

You seem to be speaking out of your ass.

You’re such a fucking stupid bitch. I hope you catch pneumonia and die.

Nice, eh? Don’t post anything obscene, vulgar, sexually explicit, illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, humiliating, defamatory, libelous, invasive of someone else’s privacy, or objectionable. Be respectful of other people’s opinions and we can all get along.
