2 of the Devlicio.us crew is awarded the Microsoft MVP

It is that time of year again, the time where Microsoft hands out the MVP awards.

This time round both myself (C#) and Michael Neel (aka ViNull) (asp.net) were awarded the MVP. This is pretty cool and I hope we can live up to the MVP'ness

Till next time,

Congrats, it is well deserved.

Of course, you do realize that as an MVP who is part of Alt.NET (whatever that means), you must immediately start making comments in your blog posts questioning the integrity of the MVP program, and blindly labelling some of them as 'professional gloryhounds.' <smiles>

But, again, it is deserved, the work you've done with DimeCasts and in blogging about MVC has been greatly beneficial to people. I'm only about 20 episodes behind on DimeCasts.
