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.

In traditional Microsoft parlance I’m “super excited” that we’ve started to ship a pretty significant update to the Hotmail service. The stuff I’ve been working on for the better part of a year is now rolling out to our site. It will take a few weeks to make it to all our users, but some folks will see the new bits today.
You can read about some of the new features on the Live Wire blog.
I should also point out that there are some features that will take a bit longer to roll out to all our users.
I plan to talk a bit more about what my team (People/Contacts) does and the features we’re shipping this year.
