[Commercial break] Sponsor and giveaway notice

This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Intel.

All right folks, time for a word on behalf of our sponsors at Blogher, who contacted me about doing a review (and giveaway) on a laptop powered by The Intel® Core™ i5 processor and an Intel® Wireless Display (aka WiDi) adaptor allowing me to use my HDTV as a monitor.

One of the questions I get asked the most about running Dramabeans is how I manage to watch and recap so many dramas all the time, in addition to keeping the blog running on a daily basis. My response is in the FAQ page, but I suspect people want a more serious answer. So I’ll just say: It’s not easy. Girlfriday and I both probably spend a lot more time on the site than could be considered healthy (it’s all for you!), and on a few occasions I’ve made the conscious effort to scale back in order to balance out my life — but ultimately, I always come crawling back like a junkie in need of her next kdrama fix. Which isn’t even so much a metaphor as it is an accurate description of life. What can ya do? We’re both workaholics, perfectionists, and completists. That means I spend a LOT of quality time with my computer.

So you can imagine how I jumped at the chance to review a brand-spankin’ new laptop provided by Intel. On top of that, Blogher is giving away a $250 gift card from Best Buy to a Dramabeans reader, plus you’ll have a chance to win a laptop for yourselves. Find out the details here!
