Stop Stealing
Alright Brent, that’s it. I’m calling you out. Your recent post on Getting Things Done was the final straw.
I’m not just talking about Brent, I’m also pointing an accusing finger at Steve Jones, Buck Woody, Tim Mitchell, and Brian Knight.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read these [...]
I’ve been volunteering with my local user group for awhile, and have been preaching community on this blog. One of the best ways to get involved, and learn for that matter, is to participate in SQL Saturdays.
On The Wait List
Recently we decided to host a second SQL Saturday Event later this year. It [...]
Hoping to find an everlasting Gob Stopper.
Last year I pined away reading all of the tweets from last year’s PASS.
It was cute, but I meant what I said. I made a promise to myself that I would go to PASS 2010. Well, last night I pulled the trigger and purchased my ticket to go [...]
Devin Knight, Wes Brown, and yours truly.
It’s 8:30am on SQL Saturday, and I feel like I’ve taken a two by four to the head. I’m standing outside the front of the building leading the registration team at the front tables, squinting in the sun, sweating profusely, and wondering why I feel so good about [...]
I took the plunge this year and started volunteering for the North Texas SQL Server User Group. Originally I started attending because I wanted to learn more about SQL Server, but it didn’t take long before I realized that there was so much more to be gained from being there.
Why should you volunteer with [...]

This is the point where we all lie and list a strength and tell the interviewer that our biggest weakness is that we just work too darn hard or some other such tripe. To be honest, I don’t know why they ask this question and what they really expect for an answer. [...]
I started this blog to help people learn more about M2M, SQL, and Crystal Reports. The reason was simple; I had to learn this stuff the hard way, by myself and essentially in a vacuum. I wanted to help anyone who found themselves in the same situation.
Since then, I’ve had a couple of people [...]
Professor Chaos – The Ultimate Terrorist
Recently the call went out for SQL Bloggers to submit their best work for the PASS Log Reader Awards. A few of the best SQL Bloggers got together and created this contest to inspire and encourage others to create top quality content.
I was encouraged to enter my Encyclopedia [...]
Fievel – An American Tail
All of the Tweeting about PASS prompted me to write this. Sung to the tune of “Somewhere Out There.”
Somewhere out there…
At the PASS Summit…
People are learning SQL and Tweeting about it.
Somewhere out there…
Ozar, Fritchey, and Delaney…
are teaching Clouds, Wait Stats, and High Availability.
And even though I know it’s about [...]
