I received word today that I’m a Microsoft MVP for C#.  Cool.

This next bit is going to read like some phony sales pitch or something but it’s legitimate:

I got the award because I work at a great company that nurtures community involvement, encourages open source contribution and gives me the opportunity to develop and deliver high quality courseware for programmers.  I also work every day in the IDE and whiteboard trenches with an incredibly talented team of developers who foster a real culture of continuous improvement.
