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.

E-mail
Reeves has some great Hotmail tips. One of them is very important. I just started forwarding all my e-mail to hotmail from another mail account. Many of these messages were being junked. This is because hotmail sees that the message is not address to “me”, being my hotmail address. The solution is to add your forwarding address as a mailing list.
If you want to understand what options you have when it comes to junk mail, safe lists etc, check out the post.
Oh, and in other news, starting yesterday Hotmail now Scans and Cleans infected messages. We are the only company (I know of) that does this for free.
