Two ASBPE regional Gold awards
Two articles that I edited for PC World won gold awards in the ASBPE western regional editorial categories this year: Your Ideal PC won a gold award in the how-to category, while The Trouble-Free PC won a gold in the technical article category. For reasons that are beyond my control, the award doesn't list my name for the Ideal PC one, which is a pity: it's probably the single article that I am most proud of out of all the ones I did at PC World.
Anyway, hurrah for me!
