  • Labor Day 2013

    It’s a holiday in the US today. It’s Labor Day, and many in the US have a break. With a holiday late last week, this turns into a 5 day weekend for me. That’s unusual for me as I struggle to take time off. I enjoy my job, and it seems that I have no shortage of tasks I can find during the week. I’m trying to do better. Vacation is important, and I’m hoping to fit in more across the next few months.

    Most of us work as labor for some enterprise. Whether it’s an employer or our own business, we work to earn an income, support our families and, hopefully, find some sense of purpose in our efforts.

    Work is hard, and every job is work at some point, but I hope you enjoy your employment more days than you don’t, especially the work in technology. The tools, capabilities and amazing things we can do in the digital world are very exciting.

    I’ve got a blooper real for the podcast that I hope you enjoy today if you’re reading the newsletter. For those of you around the world, I know many of you may be working today, but I hope you have your own holiday at some point during the year that recognizes the efforts you put in.

  • Memorial Day 2013

    Graves_at_Arlington_on_Memorial_DayToday is the Memorial Day holiday in the US. I’m sure many of you have the day off, and I hope that you enjoy it, while also remembering those that have given their lives in military service.

    For those of you outside of the US, I have some humorous (I hope) bloopers you can enjoy.

  • Happy Thanksgiving

    It’s Thanksgiving in the US and I’m in the mountains of Colorado enjoying the holiday while skiing with my family. Hopefully many of you are having a quiet day if you’re at work, or enjoying the day off if it’s a holiday.

    I’ve included a few humorous mistakes from the past month’s podcasts, so enjoy them and I’ll be back next week with new thoughts on the world of databases and SQL Server.

  • Happy Fourth of July 2012

    The anniversary of the birth of my country is today. Many of you have the day off, which is nice, but inside of all the celebrations, cookouts, or other events, please think about re-reading the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution and think about what it means to be a citizen.

    That’s all the thoughts for today. Enjoy the blooper reels:
