Quick update:  I've been invited to join ASP Insiders!  I'm proud to be part of a select group of ASP.NET professionals who reach out to the community via forums, blogs, conferences, etc and are generally recognized experts in ASP.NET.

Some of the benefits of being an ASP Insider is to get in on some private discussion about design, new features, etc.  While I cannot publish any of this on my blog, I will be able to provide feedback in some areas (such as ASP.NET MVC).

Now, to go learn the secret handshake..
