Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife, child and cat. I have worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College, mostly in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express, Entourage, IE, and Virtual PC. I am currently a Senior Lead Program Manager on the Windows Live Hotmail Frontdoor team. I basically manage a team of Program Managers responsible for the User Interface of Hotmail as well as some of the Infrastructure and Architecture. 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.

Special thanks to the folks who downloaded and tested the RC. Scott just announced that 1.8 is now finished. Between the RC and this version I added the ability for DasBlog to ping pretty much any site that supports the ping protocol. Before we only had support for Weblogs and blo.gs. Now we can support anyone that can speak regular and extended ping protocol.
And thanks to Scott for putting the release together. If this were on my plate right now it would not have happened for a while (Kahuna keeping me busy).
Here is my recommendation to you folks running dasBlog:
update: added info about how to turn off referral tracking in posts.
