In case you didn’t realize this, whoever [Scott Hanselman’s](http://www.hanselman.com/blog/) manager is = you should give Scott a raise. He just made [ALT.NET fun for people 6000 miles away](http://www.kyte.tv/shanselman) using Kyte.com, a laptop and a buggy camera.

Thanks for being an ALT.HERO Scott. And thanks Ben, [who was doing the same in parallel sessions](http://kyte.tv/benscheirman).

That’s what I mean by “[What are you going to do about it?](http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/archive/2009/03/01/what-are-you-going-to-do-about-it.aspx)”

Also, [this is another great example](http://www.summerofnhibernate.com/) of such thinking.
