Wow! That was some kind of response guys, thanks!

Just one thing, next time, could your blow a whistle or something first? I almost didn't get out of the way of that pileup in time!

An off the wall question and defintely NOT related to SQL Server in any way manner shape or form ..... but for the unappreciated DBA's / Developers who frequent this site .... how would you like to rise to world wide fame as has Susan Boyle. My question is how many of you have taken time off from T-SQL, DB administration et al to follow this ladies rocketing to fame?

In case you have not been following this phenomenon try the following links

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

There is nothing inherently wrong with this post, but I have to wonder off to my tent in the desert. What do we do as DBA's that isn't technical in nature??

If you (ya'll) want to write a book together or separately, Tony Davis of Simple-Talk is always looking for some to use in promotions.
I'd love to do a book on indexing. Time may just be a bit of a constraint later this year.

Two of my colleagues, one of them an MVP on WF (who decided that Cananda was a nicer environment than SA), got two books out there, small scale too. Was a total collaborative effort as well. I'm sure they could help you out as to how get such to an effort going.
