Yesterday, was one of those crazy days. While on the phone working out details of my next consulting contract, I found out via twitter that I was the winner of the Pluralsight Windows 8 Tablet.  Wow, I could not believe it.   Since I did not attend //build, I was hoping to get one of those tablet sometime before Windows 8 launch date, but I decided to wait for the right time.   Now, thanks to Pluralsight, I will have one and just in time for the Windows 8 Consumer Preview and Visual Studio 11 beta.

Then I needed to get ready to run some errands, and then another email came in for another potential  contract, nice.

Of course, I needed more, so I decided to attend a Parallel Data Warehouse talk at the NYC SQL User Group at the Microsoft Office in midtown NYC and what happens, I win the raffle for an Amazon gift certificate. Weird in a good way.

So thank you Pluralsight and Thanks to the NYC SQL User Group for making my day!!!.
