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.

Wierd title, but it's true. http://digg.com is a great site. I was never one to like reading slashdot, so I checked out digg and found that the design, site layout, and content was more to my liking.
I mainly read it from live.com as I find it's the perfect kind of feed for the live.com dashboard style rss reader.
BTW - Why in the bleeping hell does IE allow web pages to steal focus from the address bar? 9 times out of 10 I find myself typing a url when pages like msn.com and live.com steal the focus away from me multiple times. update: appears that all the focus issues were related to the MSN Toolbar. live.com no longer steals focus. I guess I’ll have to use firefox to get back tabbed browsing.
