PASS Summit 2010-Monday

I’m writing this on Tuesday morning, Monday was a blur. I awoke at 4 am, finally decided that sleep wasn’t going to return so went for a brisk 5 am walk, brisk in both pace and temperature. To be fair the weather so far has been pretty moderate. Back to the hotel and get dressed, […]

PASS Summit 2010–Sunday

My day started at 5:15 to get moving for the airport. Arrived right at 2 hours early to find that there was no curbside or self service check-in for Alaska Air. By the time I waited in line to check a bag and then waited in line again for security I made it to the […]

SSC Editorial: Back in Time 100 Years

I wrote the editorial asking what people would have been if they had been born 100 years earlier. It’s a mix of answers, many serious, some humorous, some missing the point of thinking for a minute or two about who they are, with or without technology. It’s a question with no right answer of course, […]

6 Networking Tips for the PASS Summit & A Sunday Invitation

There’s no doubt that the PASS Summit is about learning. In just a few days you’ll max out your learning capacity for the week and go home wishing you could take in more! But there’s more to a conference than technology, it’s about people too. Just because you’re not looking for a job or trying […]

PASS Summit Sunday Night Dinner & Meetup

Earlier this week I posted the announcement about an informal get together on Sunday night November 7th for those arriving early for the PASS Summit. After a few more calls with the team at Lowell’s we’ve worked things out so that we’ll have the entire restaurant to ourselves from 6-8 pm (and maybe a bit […]

My Schedule for the PASS 2010 Summit

I’m doing the final and somewhat hectic work of preparing for the trip to Seattle for the PASS Summit. It’ll be good to get done what has to be done, and put all the rest in the ‘when I get back’ pile! My focus on the Summit is about people and networking, though I don’t […]

PASS Update #46 (What Should PASS Be?)

I’ve been wanting to write this for a while, and I haven’t because I felt that I just didn’t quite have all the pieces. I still don’t, but I think I have enough to start, and from there maybe we’ll all figure out the stuff that is missing. I think for too long we’ve been […]

PASS Update #45 (Agenda for SQLSaturday Roundtable)

If you’re attending the 2010 Summit and are interested in helping improve SQLSaturday, I hope you’ll register and attend our RoundTable (pwd=Wyoming) on Monday morning. I’ve invited the past/current event leaders and it’s now open to anyone that is interested. What follows are some of the topics I hope to discuss during the two hour […]

Sunday Night at PASS-Let’s Meet Up!

I’m a little later than I had hoped getting this announced, but hopefully not too late! For the past couple years I’ve always planned my schedule to arrive a day early for the PASS Summit, which means a day before the pre-con seminars start. It’s a chance to spend some slower paced time before the […]
