Luckily at BNY (Bank of New York), we use rubber bands and hacky sacks instead of beach balls. And the most offending pranks are t'ping each other's white boards.

I know this may sound biased, after all I consider Jon a really good friend, and many of you know I worked for him for about a year and a half. However, all biased aside he has written a very insightful article on the MVP process http://www.aspnetpro.com/opinion/2006/03/asp200603jg_o/asp200603jg_o.asp . In the article, he addresses many of the questions I think everyone must have wondered about the program. And if you don’t know what I am referring to, then go read the article right now!
