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.

After wiring my whole house with structured wiring a I learned a valuable lesson. Don't cheap out on stuff. Why? Cause when you realize that your screw on F Connectors on all your RG6 cable is leaking signal and you now have to retrofit all of them with proper compression F Connectors, it's a BIG PAIN IN THE ASS.
Buy a decent compression tool, stripper and do it right the first time. Stripping a Quad Shield Cable is actually not just a strip and crimp thing... you need to do a little work, pealing back the metal strands and all. Basically, read the instructions that come with the stripper/compressor (which I didn't do).
