- by Most Valuable Yak (Rob Volk)

Mike Fal (b | t) is hosting this month's T-SQL Tuesday on Trick Shots. I love this choice because I've been preoccupied with sneaky/tricky/evil SQL Server stuff for a long time and have been presenting on it for the past year.

Looking Back at MIX10

- by WeigeltRo

It’s the sad truth of my life that even though I’m fascinated by airplanes and flight in general since my childhood days, my body doesn’t like flying.

You Might Be a DBA

- by BuckWoody
