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.
Cool features:
– Less than 1″ thin to easily slip in your bag
– Only 4.2 lbs so you barely notice carrying it around
– Sleek, modern design for the style-conscious
– Windows 7 is installed with new features like snap, pin, shake, and peak
– Great for music and video with BrightView LED display, SRS Premium Sound and Altec Lansing speakers
– 10 hours of battery life – no more searching for a plug!
Obviously, I’m stoked. All you have to do is give me some feedback on Modite, and you will automatically be entered to win the HP Pavilion dm3.
Click on this link to answer the quick five-question survey.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve been reading all along or if you just discovered Modite today. I want to hear what you think! Plus, once you’re finished with sharing your feedback, I’ll share with you how to get additional entries into the contest. Winner will be chosen using a random number generator.
Thanks in advance for participating and good luck! Also, it would make HP happy if you followed them on Twitter, @hp_pc, and while you’re at it, go ahead and spread the word on Twitter about the contest. Here’s a suggested tweet (but feel free to be creative):

Oh, how I wish I had a dog, a dog-walking station like this, and in the Winter, a dog-walker.

I would be happy to dress like this every day. Comfy t-shirt, fitted shrunken jacket, lots of leg. Supposedly she’s an accountant…

I guess you can slip this off your wrist and on to your coffee cup, but 1) I don’t drink coffee and 2) it’s far too pretty to do that.

“I have only ever designed products that I myself would like to live with so it goes without saying that we live with Braun products and Vitsoe furniture. As a designer, it is only by using your products daily that you are able to tell what sorts of improvements may still be needed.”

I’m pretty sure I could pull an entire wardrobe off just in plaid… loved it even before it was trendy.

Sparkly threads run throughout this fabulous bow. Perfect for a night out dancing, I think.

“I don’t believe in it. People think some muse comes down and strikes. Well, making a dance is just plain work like anything else. The inspiration is the deadline.”
– Paul Taylor in the New York Times Magazine (via Greg Tracy).
When I was designing my condo, I kept coming back to these as sources of inspiration, but what I was really in love with was the Saarinen Armchairs which I still don’t have… particularly love them in that plum color.
$1200 at Knoll.
