Northwest Arkansas SQL Server User Group 1st Meeting

I have vastly been neglecting my blogging.  So as not to be outdone by Chris Koenig ....

I was able to meetup with the organizers of the event, Jason Pluenneke, Curt Wolfe, Boyd Evert, & Dennis Berk several weeks ago.  I am personally very excited about this new user group starting up.  Partly because of my small part in helping them (one of my roles as the INETA Membership Mentor), but mostly because of my passion for databases.  I'm really looking forward to what will be coming out of the group.

I will be donating several swag items, if you haven't already been enticed into attending.  There will be a free copy of the Heroes Happen Here bundle which includes licensed copies of SQL Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008 and Windows Server 2008.  I'm also bringing a copy of PC-Cillin Anti Virus, an MSDN t-shirt, and a Visual Studio t-shirt.  Chris Koenig is also sending some swag to be given away.

My Mariah Carey Geek Rant

So if Mariah Carey is going to feature us Geeks on her videos, the least she could do is get her geekspeak right!  I mean sheezh, who uses 802.11a anyway?  (mentioned at the end of the video)  The geek in the video needs to upgrade her firmware to 802.11n!  Oh wait, I think her doctor already upgraded her "firmware". 

Well, we (us geeks) should all be happy at least.  We finally got the jocks off the music videos.  So does this finally lend legitimacy to the new Geek Era, or just make fun of us?  In either case, my Guitar Hero is going in the trash (as soon as I find a Mariah Carey expansion pack).
