I'm please to be speaking at the .Net user group in West Palm, my old stomping ground!  Many thanks to Scott Klein, noted .Net author and coder for having me down to the beach to spend some time with the great folks down there.  I will be giving a lecture on the Atomic Data Model, the X-Y-Z method of site expansion, and an in-depth analysis of one of their website projects live while we discuss it.

The event will be held at the following address at 6:30 for pizza and 7:30 for the lecture:

1750 North Florida Mango
Suites 302 & 303
West Palm Beach, Fl 33409

For more information on the Atomic Data Model, please see my blog entries about that at:  Atomic Data Modeling - Part 1

I'm grateful to the folks at the Jacksonville Code Camp (www.JaxCodeCamp.com) for expanding their sessions to include my latest search engine optimization and SQL Server 2008 atomic data modeling seminar.  I will be covering some exciting topics including how to leverage OLAP and OLTP technologies for their best uses in the Atomic Data Model, ways to expand the influence of your website using the X-Y-Z site expansion method, and ways to leverage atomic fragments of your long-tail keywords for search engine domination.

Be sure to register for the Jacksonville Code Camp today and join me for my seminar track at the University of North Florida on August 29th, 2009!

I'm pleased to be speaking to the Miramar group of the Florida Dot Net group at www.FlaDotNet.com.  You can register for this event at the following website:  Click here to register.  I will be discussing how proper search engine capabilities start at the database level using atomic data modeling practices.  The samples of the atomic data model will include how to layer in object inheritance at the SQL Server level, utilizing some new features in SQL Server 2008 including the intrinsic Hierarcy data type and a nice overview of search engine techniques that can benefit from a highly optimized and atomic database.  I hope to see you there!

A nice thank-you to the guys at CNN for running the story of my cubicle on their evening news and on their homepage.  Wasn't expecting it but it was a nice kudo:

Here's a fun article about the benefits of plush carpeting to complete my Extreme Cubicle Makeover:

 http://carpetology.blogspot.com/2008/08/carpet-for-your-tent-carpet-for-your.html

"Don't you agree that high design such as this in the workplace, particularly in a cubicle, can only elevate, enhance and improve?  I do have one suggestion. A larger rug. For that matter, what about wall-t0-wall carpet for this cubicle? It would add to the richness of the experience, help absorb unwanted noise from neighboring cubicle mates and generally enhance the work environment." - Christine Whittemore, Director of In-Store Innovation for Solutia's Wear-Dated carpet fiber.

Here's a blast from the past...
