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 have to say, what an amazing world we live in. This post is the first time I’ve connected to the internet without my feet touching the earth.
It was less than 10 years ago that I surfed the web for the first time without a modem or Ethernet cable via Wifi.
It was less than 10 years ago that I surfed the web on my phone at broadband speeds.
Now I I am sitting on a plane with my laptop connected to the internet and powered via the supplied in-seat power.
Sometimes I have to pinch myself.
Thanks Virgin America.
