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 Summit 2010… Here we go again…
Just finished the first night of PASS Summit, and it’s been a great day. Saw a lot of friends that I don’t get to spend enough time with, and it was a real blessing to talk about all of the changes that had happened in my life over the past year. It’s hard to believe [...]

#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 [...]

#passvotes Tweaks and Data Geeks: PASS Election 2011
Obviously, the angst over the 2010 PASS elections still lives on for some, and some of you are probably ready to move on to more immediate concerns, but as for me, I’m stuck here trying to figure out what I should learn from all of this. I do think we as a community need to [...]

#passvotes Welcome to the Nom Com: Here’s Your Helmet.
It’s been over a week since my last post on this subject, and to be honest, I was hoping that I wasn’t going to have to write any more. I felt like I had stated my position that the Nominations Committee for the PASS elections of 2010 had been faced with an unpopular decision, and [...]

#passvotes When doing the right thing ain’t popular…
If you Tweet or follow Steve Jones’ blog, you’ve already gotten the news that Steve will not be on the slate for the Board of Directors this year. It was a tough decision for the Nominations Committee to make, but I wanted to address some of the controversy before it boils over. I do, however, [...]

#passvotes Interviews, interviews, interviews…
Not much new to report on the PASS 2010 Nominations process this week (http://elections.sqlpass.org). We’ve interviewed 5 of the 7 remaining applicants, and overall, it looks like we’re going to have a great slate for selecting candidates this year. Unfortunately, I had to miss a couple of the interviews due to a faulty merge-and-purge process [...]
