So this year during the MVP Summit the crowd was ask to participate in the next "internal" video for Microsofts "Im a PC" Ad Campaign. They had the entire room of over 1000 MVP's from all over the world chant "I'm a PC" and "I Love Windows 7".

Here is a 30 second capture of the video

My stunning debut is right around the 24 second time mark, 3rd row on the right. If you notice, its actuall Steve Ballmer doing the yelling in the background...

Topic: JavaScript essentials for the ASP.NET Developer

Not many people have ever really given JavaScript its full and due attention. Do you realize that you can do full Object Orientated Programming with JavaScript, within most browsers? There is more to it than “Ajax”! Did you know that it uses a “prototype-based” style as opposed to classical inheritance? Come and watch Rob Chartier, one of the few local Microsoft MVP’s, give a presentation on how to leverage JavaScript in your ASP.NET Applications today!
