So evidently I won a BOTDA today. That's Blog of the Day Award for all my readers who aren't acronym geeks. Or all you acronym geeks who think BOTDA stands for Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis. I know I confused the two all the time.

In any event, it's a honor to not even know I was nominated.

For some reason this happening on the morning of the Oscars seems fitting. I wonder if I'll get to go to a cool BOTDA after-party with Claire Danes and eat some fine Wolfgang Puck cooking.

...Probably only if I pull my Claire Danes cardboard cutout out of storage and pick up some Wolfgang Punk soup from the grocery store.

Sigh. It's lonely at the top.
