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.

Kevin Schofield (who is the General Manager of Microsoft Research) wrote a post detailing the potential horrors that await us with regards to Bird Flu.
I'm fortunate to have grown up in a world where I didn't have to worry about a host of diseases (no vaccination scars on my arm, like most of my cousins who are all 5-10 years older than me). Cancer, Aids, and our own fault are responsible for much of the misery our immune systems face. But having studied biology in college, I am familiar with the sorry state of vaccine R&D... I hope our best minds are hard at work to prevent us from all getting bird flu.
