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.

Went to Startup School at Stanford this morning with Bubba and heard some interesting talks with the usual Microsoft bashing of course (I have thick skin). Bubba has some good commentary on his blog about how at Microsoft, you actually get to do a lot of the things they are teaching at Startup School when trying to launch new products, or build new teams and get funding etc.
Right now I am sitting at a Discount Tire place getting my tires balanced by a Road Force machine (my tires are apparently finicky and currently vibrate at 70mph). I hope they can fix it or I’ll likely need new tires.
I’m sitting outside though cause it’s gorgeous today (can’t wait to move to the Peninsula) and of course cold and cloudy in San Francisco.
Oh, Lora and I bought a house in Menlo Park and will be moving sometime in June . Now all we need to do is sell our place in San Fran!
