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 just found out via Josh Bancroft that the Creative Zen Micro can be turned on and off via the Remote! This is fantastic. After buying the remote, I quickly stopped using it because of this perceived limitation. I tend to keep the Micro in my bag, and I inadvertently mess up the current song I am listening to because it's hard to grab the device w/o touching one of the touch sensitive buttons.
I just pulled my remote out of hibernation and tested it out. Lo and behold... it works. Now that is something you can't do with the iPod remote (as far as I can recall).
