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.

Since having our daughter Sarah, we have done things that we normally don't do or haven't ever done... like visit the San Francisco Zoo.
Yesterday was gorgeous in the city, so we trekked up to the Zoo. I've been to a few Zoos in my life, but none where I could feel like I was close to the animals in a nice habitat. I do plan to go to the San Diego Wild Animal Park this spring, so we'll see how it compares.
This was also a good chance to play with Nikon 18-200 DX lens with Vibration Reduction that I borrowed from Mike Fullerton. I have to say, this lens impressed me.
But back to the animals. The zoo has an incredible collection of Lions, Tigers, Bears, Gorillas, Giraffes and a fantastic petting zoo for kids. I highly recommend a visit on a nice day.
