First off my thanks go out to Ron Cundiff.  Ron (while still at the same job) formerly used to handle or regional MSDN events.  I thoroughly enjoyed everytime Ron and I met with each other, and maybee one day he'll be in the area so we can hit up Osegura's mexican restraunt.  (I had tried to take him there one day, but it was closed that day)

We now have a new MSDN Developer Evangelist, Zain Naboulsi.  I have been horribly bad by not welcoming him to the area, even though he's been on the job for a while.  I'm looking forward to having him in the area and working with him in the future.

And for those that didn't already know, he's already made a major impact here in the NW Arkansas area, and has some terrific ideas on bringing Microsoft into the area.
