My Microsoft MVP Award (2009)
Allow me to gloat. This is my 5th consecutive year as a Microsoft MVP. As a programmer, it's a prestigious award because there are less than 1500 of us worldwide, and you get it as a recognition of contributions in the technical community (forums, articles, conferences). When someone asks me to explain it in plain English, I just say that it means I'm a really smart programmer and this is a real geek status symbol (not today's pansy breed of people who think they're geek... I was geek before 'geek' was cool). Thank you for allowing me to gloat. Now observe the dust on the trophy, it couldn't be wiped off. Dusty office.
