Yesterday I posted a Twitter poll asking the community for their top 5 jQuery resources on Twitter for tips, tricks, and plugins.
And without further ado, here is your list of top jQuery tweeple to follow on Twitter...
Note: I only kept entries that had more than one vote represented.

I don't know about you, but ever since I got on the "ASP.NET MVC" bandwagon I started to feel something inside of me that really didn't want to type 11 characters to represent the technology, and the funny thing is that "ASP.NET MVC" is already an Acronym! I am thankful that I don't have to type out "Active Server Pages .NET Model View Controller" Whew!!!
Anyway, although this might muddy the waters, as someone has already mentioned, I thought I would start a poll in seek of an abbreviated term to represent "ASP.NET MVC". Here are my findings...
<p>After all of that… what does it mean!?! Honestly, probably not a whole lot :)</p><p>Although, I really like the idea of typing “MVC.NET”, we probably should just stick to the original term “ASP.NET MVC” because that is what people are used to and that is what they understand. If we introduce another term it would probably just confuse people and force us to explain ourselves at every turn.</p><p>Oh, I had several people note that the numbers don’t quite add up on the poll results. The reason for that is I allowed each voter to select one or more answers. I apologize for the confusion :)</p>

So, with the help of my tweeters we came up with the idea of Painting Pottery at All Fired Up in Nashville, TN.
Then comes the hard part what does a computer geek programmer paint on a piece of pottery? Ahh... well, computer geek terms of course!
Here are some pictures of the coffee mug that I painted. I plan to bring it to work and drink from it proudly :)
Although I am an avid coffee drinker... I think you can tell that I like to drink the .NET kool-aid too :)
Read More »My previous 20 People .NET Developers Should Follow on Twitter blog post seemed to have gained quite a bit of buzz around the Twitterverse. I initially had a hard time narrowing down my list to only 20 people, so I thought I would include the next 20 several people that I wanted to add, but didn't.
Note: My list of top 40 (last post and this one) aren't necessarily the most popular or famous twitter people around (although many of them are). Rather, they are top notch developers that I highly value their contribution and tweets and find them to be very beneficial in learning and my day to day work.
