I'M KING OF THE WORLD!
The UPS guy is lucky that I didn’t know what was in this package.
Hi! I’m Brent Ozar.
I make Microsoft SQL Server go faster. I love teaching, travel, and laughing. I live in Iceland with my wife Erika. I teach SQL Server training classes, or if you haven’t got time for the pain, I’m available for consulting too.

You think that’s air you’re breathing now?
HOW COME YOU AND DAVID KEEP SLAPPING ME AROUND?
I’m going to get the hang of this one of these days, and when I do….heh. Back to my chopsticks.
At the LEAST you are the Master of your Domain 😛
Congrats Brent…
UPS guy? For what that plaque cost you, it should have been delivered by an armored car. Congratulations.
HAHAHA, thanks.
Congrats!
Yes master.
Congratulations! Don’t drop ’em!
Interesting relic of the Ozarian dynasty. Is it platinum, at least?
The card says it’s made out of ground-up bones from recycled Access “database administrators” but I’m not sure if I believe that.
Now you can tell them: “I am the Master…you will listen to me, and you will obey *me*… YOU WILL OBEY ME”
Here’s the sound bite:

“In an effort to make more money, most consultants raise their wages. The Master doesn’t need to.”
Congrats 🙂
I’m back to where I was this morning – “Assent to Brent” 😉
Congratulations!
Sweet. Congrats, Brent. 🙂
(OT: What’s that comic in the background?)
Thanks! It’s a Penny Arcade print. You can buy prints of any of their comics pretty cheap, and the quality is really good.
“Show me”
Congratulations!
So have you already raised your consulting charges 🙂
No, but I’ve added some things to my contract. I must have three bottles of Dom Perignon champagne, chilled, waiting for me at my solid marble desk when I show up at the client site. 😉
He doesn’t need to. Just one look at his Mastery awesomeness and they will _beg_ him to take more.
Don’t say it too loud for Chuck Norris might hear you say Master and get upset Chuck Norris = Master of Everything.
Brent Ozar is the sequel to Check Norris.
While Chuck is running around the world to scratch his own back, Brent has already written 42 servers to do it for him.
Now you must learn the ways of the Shaolin order: “When you can snatch the pebble from my hand grasshopper…”
Congrats Brent!
Congratulations, all the hard work pays off and you deserve it.
Looks pretty! For the money it costs it had better. 🙂 They don’t even send out certificates for the “regular” certifications anymore.
woo hoo! congratulations Brent! shall we call you Jedi Master now? 🙂
