"What is your greatest accomplishment?"

So I'm filling out the registration form for Singapore Idol--yes, as Colt pointed out I am trying to get there--and there's all these questins like “What is your greatest accomplishment?”  I bet I am the only singer to list “nested editable sorted Datagrids” as an accomplishment.  Sadly enough, I think that actually IS my greatest accomplishment, so that gives you an idea of how little outside life I have :)

Anyway, I have several goals for this trip:

1) Make it past the producer audition to get in front of the actual judges (if possible).

2) Get to explain on Singapore television what a Datagrid is, I just think that would be fun.

3) Speak at the Singapore .NET user group Monday night.

If I can pull all the frequent flyer miles together (several family members have donated their miles to my Idol campaign), then I'll be booking my ticket today.  Wish me luck!

P.S. I'm also pretty sure I'm the only person who listed “Scott Guthrie“ as one of her idols.  (Don't bother clicking through, he hasn't posed since 12/2003) :)

Just don't mention "I don't have any professional training." :D

Looks like #2 is something worth recording down.

The last I heard,
You are getting the hidden 'Control' Freaks out of their closets...

ListBoxBoy, CheckBoxKid, SubmitButtonAunt and even the RightButtonPopUpMenuGirlNextDoor are taking part in the Singapore IDOL too !

I'm jealous. Not about the idol thing, but that you actually have an outside life, however little.

If he actually "poses" in his blog, I'm not sure if I dared to click, anyway ;) Though that could be one reason why you are such a fan in the first place...

Seriously, I'm a great fan of ScottG, too. He takes development of ASP.NET seriously and his demos and texts are always interesting to follow.
