The Code To Live video starts with an All-Girl AC/DC cover band. I'm not really sure what else you need to know.

He and his co-host travel the country talking to developers. With a Harley. Dressed like bikers. I'm not sure who cast Steve in that...
Bob Ward announced in his PASS pre-conference session that Microsoft will be releasing a SQL Server 2005 version of Read80Trace in roughly 30 days. It's currently going through a security review.

If you're reading this post on the actual SQLTeam.com Weblogs homepage you'll notice that the count of posts now says 1,000. I'm happy to say that 90% of those posts have come from other people.
Three weeks from now is the four year anniversary of starting these blogs. My goal in starting this group blog was to give smart people a place to say interesting things. We certainly have smart people and they do say interesting things.
So a great big thanks to Mark, Mladen, Jeff, Tara, Brett, David, Damian, Chris, Davide, Travis, Derrick, Rob, Randy, Jon,...
