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.

Most people who visit Egypt don't get a chance to see the memorials commemorating the Battle of El Alamein. I've been twice since it's only about 2 hours from the town I used to spend my summers (near Alexandria). This picture below is one of the most powerful images I have ever photographed. I just found it today and thought I would share.
The stark contrast between the German, British and Italian memorials is notable. It's fascinating how each country chose to commemorate its dead. You can see some of the pics I took in 2000 in my gallery.
