SOA and I will post more on this soon

Interesting link to some SOA and data talk. I think the author hit this right on the head when he mentioned that data will never be as cool as application code and methods. This is VERY evident at my place of employment as much, if not all, of the focus is on creating the services and the DBA will get the data that we need. We went from tightly coupled systems to what is becoming tons of small services all over the place that would seem to be difficult to remember exactly what services were created for an application and where those services reside. When I get more time I will elaborate on this more.
So here is the link:

The First Post

Well this is the first official post in my wonderful world of the blog.
As you can see from the title (as sarcastic as it may seem) it will have some ties to Business Intelligence and many ties to technology;
VB.Net
Object Orientated Programming models and patterns
All things Sql Server
and fun things of course

I should introduce myself here as well. I am a Sql Server database developer for a major insurance company and have been a developer for about 12 years now.

Now the personal stuff - My family consists of my wife Brenda and my two girls; Madison and Samantha. At the time of writing this Sammie is 6 weeks old and the lack of sleep is a reality
and may cause me to post some interesting items to say the very least.
