I've decided to continue an old B-Eye Blog called Sharpening Stones that I'd started up a few years ago, but to migrate the blog here. No offence intended to the great folks at the B Eye Network.
The URL for this new generation of the blog references the inspiration for it, the lyrics from REM's Exhuming McCarthy. You can reread my explanation back at the old blog in posts 1 and 2.

paulboal & Sharpening Stones
I'm a data professional who's worked in both consulting and in corporate positions, and I'm passionate about making the business world a better contributor to society through the intelligent use of business information. Welcome to Sharpening Stones, a blog about information management, data, business intelligence, a data warehousing. The title and domain name for this blog are an homage to the REM song, Exhuming McCarthy:
You're sharpening stones, walking on coals,
To improve your business accumen.
You can see my interpretation of those lines in the first posts by following the links from here.
A Practical Data Warehouse
I started working on a data warehousing book last fall with encouragement from the folks over at The Pragmatic Programmers. During November, I challenged myself to write every day and complete at least 50,000 words that month as part of NaNoWriMo... with success! The book has a long way to go, but I think it shows some promise.
