I wanted to take a moment to thank all the voters this year that took the time to vote on the top 25 vBlogs. As always my good friends Duncan Epping, Frank Denneman, and Alan Renouf were tops on the list. When I found out I was nominated I was humbled, knowing I made it into the top 25 was even more humbling. To be in the midst of such talent is just pretty cool.

That’s not a one shot deal, I really want to keep that up since I do like to have more about me than just Virtualization and work. Below are the stats for the voting for me that I thought we pretty cool. I hope I can keep up all the voter’s expectations!
