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.

Nooooo!!! I could not resist (sorry Steve). I had to have one. Must purchase. Well, I was walking back from a Dr. Appt near Union Square 1 hour ago, and I figured I would stop by the Sony Store at the Metreon. If you are in need of a PSP and you live in San Francisco, the Sony Store got a shipment yesterday.
I don't have any games yet though. That's a problem I need to fix.
BTW - this device was $249. I never did purchase a Portable Media Center. $500 to essentially play audio and video seemed too steep for me (I don't have kids, and my tablet can play tv shows from my MCE box). But the price for this gizmo is in line with what a Creative Zen Micro or iPod mini costs. Compared to the PMC, the device is sexier, screen is more beautiful, and the entertainment is limitless. With WiFi built in, this thing will be cool. Now, I wish it could nativley play WMV so that I could more easily get my MCE TV shows on there.
