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.

Last year I signed up for Amazon.com Prime. It’s a service where anytime you order a product that Amazon.com sells you get free 2 day shipping or next day for $3.99 per item. It costs $79 a year and I thought I would try it out for a year.
Well it’s been one year. Lets see how I did.
I ordered 21 individual orders last year. So that works out to $3.76 per order in shipping costs. I think that’s a pretty good deal for 2nd day shipping on all my orders. I signed up for a second year.
