Hey All,

As a promo for Tor.com we asked Donato to pimp-up a super portable personal computer. For info on the sweepstakes go to: http://www.tor.com/
Anyone going to ComicCon can come check it out at booth# 2649

And, we have this cool time lapse video of him painting it:

Very cool, and not how I would have expected Donato to paint.

I'd be afraid to ever use that laptop though, for fear of scuffing the paint job :P

Thanks for posting this!

Hell of a way to promote the site! I've bookmarked it already :D

What does TOR stand for by the way?

Whoa.

As sexy as the laptop is, the original fiction and coverage from amazing authors is enough to drool over.

And I don't even have to win to get that!

The competition is USA only. Ah well. Nice to behold if not actually hold.

MiniGoth - Nice to hear. In fact, we will be re-offering all of the books and wallpapers at once for one week, starting at noon on Sunday. (est)

I was already on the tor list, but I signed up again to make sure my name is in the hat for this gorgeous laptop. Thanks for the info!!

I've seen Donato paint before but never quite that fast!!

Thanks again,

:) I'm pathetically excited - I have TWO new books in my inbox, both from authors I've never read before - from a publisher I tend to lean towards -

SQUEEEEE!

...now I just need a new charger for the e-book reader.
