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.

I happen to love Fidelity. They provide an awesome web site, great online tools, and lots of local branches to go to. I open almost all my new accounts with them since I already have my and my wife's retirement accounts there (401k, 529, Brokerage, etc).
Well I was pleased to find out that they just rolled out a new checking account called the mySmart Cash account. Perks include:
Now I need to find out if they support Microsoft Money or Wesabe.
Given that I love Fidelity and hate the "nickel and dime" Wells Fargo, I just might use this account.
It would be really nice to be liberated from the burdens of having to hunt for a Wells Fargo ATM. Granted we have one in our cafeteria.... however, once you leave your home state, making cash withdrawals can be expensive (like overseas).
