When Anton Olsen and I were at SXSW Interactive this past spring, we decided to propose a class on web application testing. Part of the panel selection criteria is determined by community voting. Voting is open now, but closes soon (Midnight on Friday).

If you have a little time, please consider voting for our panel. (Registration is required to vote).

Our proposal is here:
http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/572

The general Panel Picker page is here:
http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/

Once the votes are counted the SXSW panel will take 3-4 weeks to decide which panels will get the green light.

Thanks!

My buddy Anton has started a Halloween blog. I’ll be contributing a few articles beginning this weekend with an article on making a few different kinds of blood. In the mean time, make sure to link to his blog for a chance to win $50.

Arr.

2. Costume Designer (also heh – ditto)

7. Hydrologist / Hydrogeologist (No interest)
