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.

My Tiny USB Keychain (the OCZ Mini-Kart) finally died the other day. I had bypassed the little thread loop to attach it to my keychain and finally the plastic gave way and now I can't keep it on my keychain.
Well, lo and behold, Sony produced an even smaller USB Keychain. The 2GB Micro Vault Tiny is half the size (really), comes with a protective pouch for your keychain, and is Vista ReadyBoost compatible. Heck, I got 2 of them... a 1GB model to use as a ReadyBoost Drive for my iMac and a 2GB model for my keychain.
For a great site compiling all the compatibility issues with lots of USB drives and Vista ReadyBoost go here.
