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've seen this sight a few times now (close to a dozen) and it never gets old. The sheer wonder's of the anicent world never cease to amaze me. Of course it's also amusing to see how Cairo has changed in the past 3 years. They now have DSL, ATM machines are everywhere, and everyone wants an iPod. The Cairo Museum no longer allows photography, and it's even more in shambles than the last time I saw it. They need to build that new one real soon now.
Egypt has been fantastic so far and we're getting read to go to Sharm-El-Sheik which is the southmost point of the Sinai peninsula. The snorkeling there is amazing. We'll be there for 5 nights. I hope to make it out to Petra Jordan for a day trip, but if we can't we'll go to St. Catherine's Monastery.
