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.

Somehow my Blackjack II got wind of all the nasty things I've been saying about it and it decided to behave today. Same thing happened to 2 other folks at Microsoft.
As of right now, my Blackjack II has been unplugged from the charger since 8am. It's been 12 hours and it's got 70% of its battery left. I have been syncing mail every 15 minutes for 4 hours and using Direct Push for 4 hours.
I didn't do anything to the device that would cause this type of change.
The only thing that I can think of is:
Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Go Figure. Now I'm perplexed as to what to do... I was all ready to return it today and get the Moto Q9h.
