Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife, child and cat. I have worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College, both in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express, Entourage, IE, and Virtual PC and in Windows Live on Hotmail, Calendar and People. I am currently a Principal Lead Program Manager on the Windows Live Social Networking team. I basically manage a team of Program Managers responsible for delivering features to support our web and client applications. I've been blogging since 2001 and like to play around with .NET in my spare time working on projects such as dasBlog (the blog that powers this site) and Send to SmugMug (an application for uploading photos to SmugMug). I blog about a number of technology and productivity related topics.

The other day I received a phone call from my wife on our Home Number.
On most other phones it would say:
Call from Omar Shahine (Home)
Cool, you mean I’m calling myself?
It’s always been a pet peeve of mine that this happened. I mean this is a pretty common scenario right?
Well this doesn't happen on the iPhone. If you have two contacts with the same phone number (pretty common for people that live together, like my parents, my wife, my sister and her husband) the iPhone displays a screen like this:
I have to say, this is great. I’d also note that they are smart enough to realize since we have the same last name, it just says “Lora or Omar Shahine”.
