I've had a chance to dabble with a lot of aspects of SQL Server (even some PL/SQL).
PL/SQL is Oracle 😉

How do you keep current with SQL Server?
Mostly by reading blogs and articles. In a lesser extent books.
Occassionally I watch some videos on Channel9 or I go to trainings/conferences.

How do you decide what to read / follow?
Whatever comes into my RSS feed and that seems interesting. I usually have a big pile-up of articles I need to read 🙂
I also follow some people on twitter and read what they recommend.

How do you best learn new things?
By doing it is the best way, but I also write a blog and some articles. This forces me to read up on those materials.
I also speak at conferences, which is a good way to do networking but also to dive really into a specific subject matter.
(teaching is the best method to learn!)
