Today is day fourteen of HP and Microsoft’s ‘Back to School and Better Together’ Giveaway, which means that Building Camelot will begin theirs. Up for grabs is a computer combo containing an HP dv6, an HP Mini 110 and Syncables software – which allows you to keep the larger laptop at home but carry the smaller netbook (synced and carrying all of your data!) when on the go. The Winner will also get a customized Building Camelot Timbuk2 bag to carry their loot!

From the Building Camelot Post:

Since the promotion is all about being “better together” I want to hear from you on how you have become a better person since having children and how you have applied that to some aspect of your life.

So, if you’ve become more patient, a better listener or a better problem solver I want to hear not only the story behind it but also how you’ve applied your new found character elsewhere in your life whether it’s at home or at work.

Stories should be well thought out and engaging and should incorporate the better together idea to be considered for the contest. There’s no minimum word count for stories but I’m looking for the best story out there and the better the story, the more likely your chances are of winning.

In order to be counted for the contest, you MUST either leave me a comment below or write a post on your blog and link back to this article. It’s that simple but it has to be done by 12:00am on August 29th. As much as I’d like to be flexible, HP and Microsoft are asking for specific dates/time for the bloggers involved and your entry has to be in on time.

Enter at Building Camelot.
