The How-To Geek has won a Microsoft MVP award for the second year in a row, and itâs all thanks to you, our great readers that keep the site going. Join us for some mutual back-patting and some terrible photography of all the award stuff.
Of course, if youâre familiar with the MVP award youâll probably know that itâs actually for a single person, but in my opinion the award belongs to the entire How-To Geek community, without which this site would be nothing.
Terrible Photography of the Award
If thereâs one thing Iâve learned by receiving this award, itâs that Iâm possibly the worldâs worst photographer. It took me like 20 minutes just to get this terrible shotâand then I realized that there were fingerprints all over the award itself.
In any case, they send you a little card for your wallet, a pin, an award for the wall, and then the nice piece of glassâonce youâve gotten the award once, you just get the little glass piece for the next year if you win again. The quality of each piece is really impressive, and itâs literally the only thing Iâm proud enough to have on the wall of my office.
Once I looked a little closer at the award, I realized somethingâŠ
Thatâs right⊠Microsoft decided that Iâm officially a âWindows Expertâ. If they knew I was typing this on a MacBook Air, Iâm pretty sure theyâd take it away from meânobody tell them! =)
And again, thanks to all of you, the readers who always read every article, leave helpful and constructive feedback, and make this site what it is today.
