Thank you NTEN for the Fantasticness Award!
Yesterday morning, Andy Carvin, Jonny Goldstein, and I presented a videoblogging panel at the NTC. Here's the video we made on the spot as a demo. The afternoon sessions were going to be informal coaching - so I thought it would be nice to have a quiet lunch with Andy and Jonny to prepare.
However, Friday at lunch, NTEN gave out some awards. Apparently, I was awarded the award for "Fantasticness" and when my name was announced they waited and waited. A few folks called out -- "She's video blogging!" So they videotaped the ballroom standing ovation. I had not idea was I wandered back into the hotel. People came up to me -- I was shocked.
Afterwards, I got a photo of Katrin handing me the award! Thank you so much for the recognition - it is really appreciated! One of the questions that has been asked at the NTC - what inspires you to do this work? Or what inspires me to blog so much ... the fantastic work that all of you in the nptech space do!
And, I also got a life time subscription to Typepad and Flickr! For more on the awards, Christine has great coverage here and a nice shout out from Nedra.
Here's the announcement from NTEN ....
The GiGi's are reading about all your awards, Beth. We would like to know more about them: we looked and looked.
We are so proud of you. GiGis rock.

A big cheer went up when your name was on the screen... and then, you weren't there! It was OK, everyone knew you were working! You 100% deserve all of the recognition and we hope to see you as active for many many years to come.

Congrats, Beth. So, you weren't there, huh? :-) This reminds me of when my department threw a surprise party for me but didn't tell my best friend. Consequently, she took me out to lunch that day. My party went on without me.
Your videoblogging panel sounds interesting and informative.

Beth,
I couldn't say congratulations better than the GiGis.
Your work provides easy-to-understand information that I pass on to my clients and use in my work.
