The voting survey closed at the end of May, we had just over 1600 votes this year. I just finished a big road trip that was half vacation, half work right after the voting closed so the results announcement has been a bit delayed. On the trip we ended up driving from Denver, CO to Roswell, NM, then to Phoenix, AZ for a few days to celebrate my 50 b-day, then on to Vegas for a week at HPE Discover (work) and then driving down the Extraterrestrial Highway for a brief stop at Rachel, NV (you’ll know what’s there if you saw Independence Day) and finally a stop in Richfield, UT before heading back to Denver.
I’ll be publishing some voting stats this week as a teaser and am checking the availability of Mr. Troyer and the VMTurbo folks so we can set a date and time for the live results show which will hopefully be next week. Until then enjoy some pics from my road trip and stay tuned for more on Top vBlog 2016:
