I am going to use 9 of the topics I have posted on my simple-talk blog about What Counts For a DBA (<a title=\"http:\/\/www.simple-talk.com\/community\/blogs\/drsql\/\" href=\"http:\/\/www.simple-talk.com\/community\/blogs\/drsql\/\">http:\/\/www.simple-talk.com\/community\/blogs\/drsql\/<\/a>), and write them on my spinning wheel that looks like this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Erase-Spinning-Prize-Wheel-White\/dp\/B0041P3ME6\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"24 Inch Dry Erase Spinning Prize Wheel White Face\" src=\"https:\/\/www.webstaging.red-gate.com\/simple-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/39383_41euEbDb0JL._SL500_AA300_.jpg\" width=\"144\" height=\"144\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The extra three spaces will be prize slots, which will (the first time they are landed on, earn the spinner a book: I will bring a copy of MVP Deep Dives 2, a copy of my relational design book, and a copy of Tom Larock\u2019s DBA Survivor book too. In these thee spots I will have a Joker that lets the spinner choose their own topic, and two envelope spots that will let them choose an envelope that contains one of my queued up topics that I will ask the spinner to comment on, as well as anyone else in attendance. Any repeat topics will merit an envelope open as well.<\/p>\n<p>Will it work? I don\u2019t have a clue. It will take me really stepping up my looseness when I speak and an audience that isn\u2019t prepping their minds for the Women In Technology lunch. Either I dropped 120 bucks on a spinning wheel that takes up garage space and is never used or that is used a few times a year.&#160; Either way, hope to see you in Louisville this weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So it is Tuesday night, just a few days until my presentation entitled What Counts For A DBA and I am still not completely sure exactly what is going to go on.
