MacGyver Moments
Aaron Bertrand and Denny Cherry double-teamed me in another round of Web 2.0 Chainposting, and you know I never dare break the chain. I spent a few days thinking about what MacGyver moments I have had that I could share. And to be honest, very few came to mind. Apparently I am not very imaginative, [...]
Thirty Years Ago Today…
This afternoon marks the 30th anniversary of the “Miracle on Ice” hockey game between Team USA and the USSR. I have blogged about the event previously, reflecting upon some recent trips I have made to Lake Placid, NY.
Last night I witnessed an incredible game as well. No, it was not even close to the drama [...]
More Bing
I have no idea how this stuff keeps finding me, other than to think the Universe is really trying to tell me something. A while back I wrote about how I found out that the word ‘bing’ means ‘disease’ in Chinese. As with most of my cultural intake from China, I learned about this word [...]
2010 Goals and Themeword
It’s that time of year again, the time where we all think about what we want to accomplish for the next twelve months. Since I did fairly well with my 2009 goals, and since it is always a good idea to write down your objectives, I decided to get my done today and then tag [...]
A [DBA] Christmas Story
With Christmas coming this Friday I wanted to take some time and reflect upon the past year. 2009 has been quite a ride for me professionally and personally. Lots of action over the past twelve months. I wanted to take some time to reflect, recharge, and redirect where I want to go over the next [...]
Bacon Bit
Kevin Kline dropped me an email earlier this week asking me if I had seen or heard Jim Gaffigan’s musings on bacon. Apparently it has been available for quite some time, but I am only getting around to hearing it now. If you have not heard it before then take a few minutes to watch [...]
I Got Nowhere To Go
Just over forty years ago Joseph Owades, working for Rheingold Breweries, invented what we now refer to as “lite” beer; beer that “tastes great, less filling“. His invention eventually became known as Miller Lite, which proved popular enough that other breweries followed suit and started producing their own brands. Today it seems as if every [...]
PASS Summit Preview
I love movies. I also love popcorn, but I am not sure if that is related. Anyway, I have been a movie buff for years. I do not get to watch as much these days as I would like, but I expect I can get caught up on any I have been missing. The other [...]
Now I’m Hungry
Sometimes something awesome comes your way and you need to share it others.
Something awesome
You’re welcome.
SQL Theme Song
You knew this was coming. Put on some Nickelback and imagine how awesome it would be to have them sing this version. If @SQLFool ever does a non-rap contest, consider this my entry. I’ll work on a video, maybe I can get it done by the time PASS rolls around and get some of the [...]
