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.

Like Jeff, I am seriously thinking of giving Comcast the boot. I need to add up all the season passes I would need to get and see what the damage will be.
Of course, I canceled HBO a long time ago and watch all their stuff a few years later on DVD from Netflix. I just pretend it's not on (like Rome). Now if Apple could score HBO we'd be in business.
Oh, and I already have an Antenna so I get CBS, NBC, Fox and ABC in Hi-Def over the air (which my Media Center records just fine). I may need to invest in a better Antenna though as the one I have in my garage can be flaky at times.
This of course will save me a bunch of money as I won't need to get a Vista Media Center with Cable Card cause I won't have Cable .
The only hole in this system is that I do on occasion like to watch the news (not the craptastic local news though).
