The Simple-Talk Tribal Award Winners are out, and we won in two categories – Blog of the Year for the Brent Ozar Team Blog, and me as the Person You’d Most Like to Have a Beer With.

So three things we need to cover here.

First, when we have a beer together, don’t worry about picking the beer. Just grab us a beer. I know I’m all foodie-focused, and yes I do love champagne, but I’m not a snob. I’ll drink everything from dark Guinness to fruity hefeweizens to Corona. If you see me with an empty bottle (what, you think I need a glass?), just bring over another one and let’s talk.

Second, you can get our blog posts via email too. We stopped promoting this a while back when we redesigned the site, but the subscription still exists. One of these days we’ll add it back in somewhere. We’ve still also got an RSS feed if you’re old-school like me. (I’ve been using Feedly as a replacement for Google Reader.)

Last, thank you. Thank you for being here, listening, commenting, and enjoying the journey with us. We still joke around about how this company started as a blog about turtles and pantyhose. We’ve come such a long way over the last twelve years, and I can’t wait to see what the future brings for us all. We’re going to keep right on blogging about how you can improve your database skills, your career, and the community as a whole. That’s what’s important to us, and thanks for making it important to you, too.
