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.

So I’m sitting her pondering with my wife, why the heck do I need to bring my laptop to NY? So far this year I have spent about 3 weeks without my laptop, and it’s been great. Here is what I don’t plan on doing for the next 6 days:
What the heck do I need to lug 6 lbs to NYC and back for? It would be nice to go through TSA security w/o one (btw, every airport I’ve been to outside the US does not do the ridiculous laptop stuff).
What I do plan on doing the next few days:
With my k-jam, wifi, parents computer etc there is really no need to lug a laptop around these days. Now if I had a sub 4 lb laptop like my wife’s tiny white Vaio that wouldn’t be so big a deal, but my big fat Dell. Bleh.
