Hello there. I'm Gina and I'll be your panel moderator in March.

I quit my full-time job and went freelance 4 years ago. These days most of my time is spent writing Lifehacker, a blog on software and productivity published (and paid for) by Gawker Media. I also write for a few magazines here and there, and my first book (also titled Lifehacker) just came out. I'm originally a programmer and web developer, so I tend to code up little doodads when I'm not writing. I keep a pretty updated log of recent goings-on in my career at my name site, Gina Trapani.org.

This is my third time at SXSW, my third panel, but my first time moderating.
