Professional Activity August 2008 to Date

Every year around this time I turn my attention to what I’ve done over the past year in order to update my MVP profile. While the engine Microsoft provides has many ways to list accomplishments and activities, I’ve always had a difficult time trying to find the right way to list my activities over the year.

Often at the end of the year bloggers will list links to the “greatest hits” posts for readers to review. I thought I’d turn it up a notch. The following links represent just about everything I’ve done from August 2008 to date.

Hopefully you’ll find something fun or valuable below that you may have missed this last year :)
