Do you dare ask what few are willing to explore: the scientific assessment of your own awesomeness? Advanced algorithms and Bayesian modeling combine to INSTANTLY DETERMINE how AWESOME you ARE.*

COMPARABLE RANKS OF AWESOME
1 – David Hasselhoff in Germany
10 – Ludwig van Beethoven
20 – Good kittens
50 – Oatmeal
70 – that Chocolate Rain kid
90 – David Hasselhoff in America
100 – Elisabeth Hasselback

*there’s a chance your rank may be determined by a random number generator.

Many thanks to Alex Marsh, our first Admiral on the Wall of Awesome! You may recall that Admirals and Pioneers get their own illustration, drawn by the incomparable Kurt Lightner and placed into a Certificate of Awesome by inestimable Christian Helms.

Alex was the first person to send us a picture for his Admiral Certificate:

And here is his Certificate of Awesome:

Admirals and Pioneers are free to use their illustrations for non-commercial purposes. Alex currently has his drawing as his Twitter icon, though he tries to fool us with his mirror-image chicanery.

Want your own illustration? Of course you do! Become an Admiral or Pioneer on the Wall of Awesome! (Non-illustrated Vanguard certificates also available!)

Kevin Myers is awesome!

Don’t worry, other TWOA members! We’re not ignoring you! We’re just testing out this new blog feature.

Kevin Myers is today’s daily awesome! He joins a dozen other “early adopters” as we turn the corner from soft launch to official launch of The Wall of Awesome!

Fun fact about Kevin: his Twitter name is @zy1125, and no one knows why. Not even him.


BE [on the wall of] AWESOME.

Can’t do a Certificate?
