I got the SQL Pass community connector email this past Friday and the SQL Heroes contest got top billing. I really hope that gives the contest the "kick in the nads" that it needs. I would love to see tons of cool utilities and thingy-ma-bobs for SQL Server. Here is the current list of SQL related releases on CodePlex. The contest really has not gotten much attention from the SQL blogosphere. I am not sure if that is out of competition or lack of interest.
I am working on an entry. Slowly working on an entry. It is almost done but it seems like the last 4-6 hours of work I put in on it has been spread across weeks... What is my entry? Top Secret! Actually, I am thinking about making a big change to my entry at the last minute when RTM comes out so I don't want to spill the beans just yet.
The full contest rules are here. The blog can be found here.

Zain announced that there will be a Second Life Virtual Launch April 26th. It looks like the sessions are the same as the live events. That means I can mix and match VS and Windows 2008 sessions since I have already attended the SQL track in Dallas. Here are the details from Zain.
If you have not had a chance to mess around with SQL Server 2008 much yet, I highly recommend you checking it out. They are not 400 level sessions but they are not marketing fluff either.

TechCrunch reports that google is going to be entering the cloud data services market. Actually, they are going to make available to the public what is already running production google apps. This is after Microsoft announced their public free beta of SSDS and Amazon launched simpledb.
What does this mean for the DBA? That is hard to say. I find it hard to believe a round trip over SSL to a remote data center will provide the performance needed for enterprise apps. I don't know enough about it to speculate yet. Denis Gobo posted about this topic when amazon launched. Check it out. Good info.
