SQLSaturday Atlanta 2011–advance notice
Last night a small group of us (Aaron Nelson, Audrey Hammonds, Julie Smith, Tim Radney, and me) met to discuss this year’s upcoming SQL Saturday; our goal is to make it a bigger event than last year, but still try to keep it very community-centric. Here’s a couple of bullet points that I can tease [...]

much delayed #sqlsat70 write-up
This write-up will be brief and to the point: SQL Saturday 70 rocked. K. Brian Kelley (Blog|Twitter) and his team put together a great event (again), and it was a lot of fun catching up with so many SQL people. Unfortunately, I had a rather severe sinus infection which kept me from really enjoying the [...]

Just a quick note… #sqlsat70
I just submitted a couple of sessions to SQL Saturday #70; I feel like I’ve been way off my game in terms of service to the community lately, so hopefully this will provide me a bit of a kick-start. Even if I don’t get accepted (the list is growing longer each day), it’s at least [...]

#sqlpass #awesomesauce Moving up to the big leagues…
Just got word that my XML session was moved from an alternate topic to a full-fledged presentation. The only problem? I already submitted a trimmed down version as a Chalk Talk, and it got accepted. Soooooo… here’s my plan: I’ve got the weekend to beef up the XML presentation and add some spiffy new material [...]

#sqlpass Less than an hour to go…
Till I drive to the airport. I’m looking forward to this year’s Summit in a lot of ways, and I hope that it will energize me into blogging again. It’s been a rough few weeks, and I’m looking forward to getting excited about my craft again. I’m also looking forward to the few extra days [...]

Well, boo…. Back to the drawing wheel #sqlpass
Nose to the wagon board. Grinding away at the dog-and-pony show. Keeping a stiff upper lip. Insert Other Platitudes… Apparantly, PASS started notifying potential speakers that their submissions for Summit 2010 were accepted today for ; unfortunately, I was not one of them (at least not yet). 2 of my 3 submissions were “Considered” before being [...]

#SQLSat35: Dallas 2010 notes
I realize that it’s been an entire week since SQLSaturday 35 in Dallas and that’s an eternity in the blogosphere, but I’ve been recently reminded of a very painful lesson: you pay for taking days off. Two days out of the office to go to Dallas cost me much more than two days worth of [...]

#sqlsat35 looking ahead to the weekend
This weekend I’ll be traveling to the DFW metropolitan area to attend SQLSaturday #35; I’m very excited about it. I didn’t know if I’d be able to attend this weekend (had to trade kid time with the ex-wife), so I missed the call for speakers. I am looking forward to actually attending sessions and bumping [...]
