Every year, I run a Black Friday sale at BrentOzar.com on SQL Server training and apps. It’s a genuinely big deal for me, almost half of our annual revenue. We brought in $885K last year (up …| Brent Ozar
I’ve been dailying my new-to-me 2017 Rolls-Royce Dawn for a couple months now, and I’ve noticed it really changed the way I feel about cars. People are overly friendly to me. They wave,…| Brent Ozar
I decided to do a little shuffling in the car collection. I sold a few cars, basically consolidating 3 cars into 1: I sold my Porsche Speedster replica because I’d had some great adventures w…| Brent Ozar
In 1968, Porsche wanted to win hill climb races, so it built a one-off experimental car called the 909 Bergspyder, which translates to mountain spider. I was absolutely smitten with it when I saw it in the Porsche museum in Stuttgart back in 2018: The 909 Bergspyder was one of the lightest Porsche race cars...| Brent Ozar

I don’t speak or read any Chinese whatsoever, but between what I’ve just seen visually, and what Yves & I have discussed, one thing is extremely clear to...| Brent Ozar
I just got back from vacation. This trip was my 2nd time in China, and my 1st time in Japan. Being in China feels like being in the future, while being in Japan seems like being in the past. That’s not to say that either of them are good or bad necessarily, just way more...| Brent Ozar
Since I was a teenager, I’ve loved the Porsche 911 Targa. It’s an iconic design: I had posters of this thing on my wall all throughout high school and college. The right color was always Guards Red with a black roll bar and black wheels. That right there, so 1980s. 5 years ago, I fulfilled...| Brent Ozar
Today I went to the Present to Succeed conference in Sofia, Bulgaria along with 850 other in-person attendees and a couple thousand live online attendees. I was excited because it’s not the kind of conference I usually attend – but I should, given that I do online training for a living. (I taught a session...| Brent Ozar
