I’ve started up a weekly newsletter! Sign up, and each Tuesday you’ll get a link to a quick SQL Server quiz or poll in your inbox. Most weeks there will be a cartoon thrown in there, too.

I’ll also give you the scoop on what’s new over at SQLWorkbooks.com. You’ll be the first to know about any free courses or new posters, and there will be goodies just for folks reading the newsletter, too.
And of course I’ll holler about any breaking news in the SQL Server universe, whenever something big happens.
My first Quizletter goes out tomorrow, March 28th! This week’s quiz is on blocking, and the link will only be in the Quizletter.
Update: the quizletter is on hiatus for now, I’ll re-post if it’s revived with a new signup link
