MDN Community Awards

Today, somebody let me now that I've been nominated for the MDN Community Awards 2009. This came as quite a shock. I'm not sure who nominated me, but thank you. It's incredibly flattering to see my name listed alongside the names of so many people that I admire and respect.

Apple Design Awards

Sorry for the dearth of technical postings lately - I'm spending a lot of my time on stuff that I can't post about for a number of reasons. I did want to point out, especially for people new to the Apple development universe, the Apple Design Awards.

Four Mac and four iPhone applications will be selected to receive a design award. This award is quite a feather in your cap as a developer, and could very well lead to more sales. On top of that, if you do win, you'll get two 15-inch MacBook Pros, two 30-inch Apple Cinema Displays, two 16GB iPhone 3Gs, two 16GB iPod touch, an ADC 2009 Premier Membership, and reimbursement of your WWDC 2009 E-ticket.

The awards will be presented at WWDC.
