I was born a madman and forged in the streets of Boston. That should explain it.

Arrived in Oslo and excited to catch up with friends, new and old, over the next few weeks. First order of business: cleaning up after 14 hours of travel, then dinner and hitting up Rock In later tonight.

This was my first time at @DataSatOslo and I have to say it was an amazing time. Thank you to all the organizers, volunteers, and sponsors who made this event happen.

Only a few weeks left before we explore the guts of a Sql Server data file. Come join us for the music and carnage in Berlin! You can register at data-moshpit.com. Thanks to the @DataMoshpitDE folks for combining to of big passions in life, music and data!

If you are going to be in the Boston area next week, come out and let’s catch up.

This is gonna be awesome. I can’t wait.

This is a great example of the good community can do. Both my parents had cancer diagnosis over the last year, thank you to @sql_williamd and everyone who helped make this happen, you are saving lives. You can still sign up to be a donor or make a donation to @DKMS_uk.

To all those who are interested in D&d, perhaps this years #sqlbits2023 theme piqued your interest. Either way, come join us. No worries if you have never played before. @DanTheSQLMan has put together a wonderfully welcoming place for both new and experienced players.

To all the organizers, volunteers, exhibitors, and attendees of #sqlbits2023, I’d like to say thank you for having me. To friends, old and new, many of us have had a rough few years and seeing you all was amazing and cathartic and just what I needed. I appreciate you all.

I had a wonderful time catching up with friends and recording this podcast.

Go submit a session, even if, especially if, you haven’t presented before. I can not say it enough, you have something to share. Your experience has value.

Every year I’ve been to this event it has been amazing. If your in the L.A area, I highly encourage you to go.
