Google Maps in SQL Server - 2005 and 2008

SQL Server 2008 provides support for storing geographical information in the database with the new database geography. For SQL Server 2005 you can read this blog for more information.

Leveraging Google Maps enable you to build a simple web part which can map the address of a contact to a map in Google. Awesome. AJAX today - maybe jQuery in the near future.

ItemAdded - listItem is null

I have reported this issue before but haven't found a solution - yet. However, today I came across this blog describing the same problem in the ItemAdding event - which is expected behavior. Apparently others have had this issue too.
