Why MS included powershell in sql server 2005. It's kinda useless in my opinion.

There's also:

http://sqlblog.com/blogs/allen_white/archive/tags/PowerShell/default.aspx

If can go to a SQL Saturday where either Aaron or Allen are presenting, they'll convince you how useful it is. Allen has both a pre-conference and spotlight session at this year's PASS Summit, and Aaron is also presenting on Powershell.

Then there's this guy:

Who is in a class by himself. (Actually, he teaches a class at the University of Washington, so he has students with him)

For some-but-mostly-non-SQL Server stuff, there's:
