I mentioned it on Twitter on Friday, but figured I might as well announce it on my blog too:

I’m an MVP!

I was awarded Microsoft’s “Most Valuable Professional” award for the “Client Application Development” category. It’s the first time I’ve received an MVP award, so this is a big deal for me.

I suppose the main reason for my nomination was the time I put into helping people over at Stack Overflow, and I intend to keep doing that because it’s a lot of fun! Of course, releasing Halfwit as open source and contributing to the local user group probably helped too.

Anyway, I’m off to learn more about the benefits of being an MVP!
