I am writing this from SQL Connections.  I am slated to speak tomorrow and Wednesday so I was able to attend several sessions today.  The first session was on Security by Christian Kleinerman and the second one I went to was on SSIS by Donald Farmer.  I will try to make it to one more before I go to the Microsoft Unplugged session.  I have seen some good friends that I have met before as well. 

Chuck Boyce is here interviewing folks about SQL Server for his daily podcast on SSWUG.  Chuck is a ball of energy and contibutes a lot to the community.  He leads the PASS chapter in Philly too!

I also spoke to Joe Cheng.  He has a free tool available on SQL-Server-Performance.com called SQLClone.  It makes an empty copy of a database with statistics!  He is still fine tuning the tool, but check it out.
