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.

I was going to try and say something original, but Adam Barr said it best.
Today is July 7, 2007, which of course abbreviates nicely as shown in the title. For some reason I like to post blog entries on days like today as proof that I did actually take note of their awesomeness, as I was experiencing it. I can still remember the time, gosh it must have been about thirty years ago, when my father pointed out to me that it was 7-7-77. In other news related to this date, it would have been Robert Heinlein's 100th birthday (nice how the slashdot URLs happen to have the date in them in 2-digit format, so they encode "07/07/07" for all stories posted today), which means he was also born on 07-07-07. And Boeing is planning to introduce their new airplane, the 787, tomorrow, on 07/08/07.

In other news, it looks like I've been blogging for 6 or so years. In that time I used Radio Userland, Blogger, now DasBlog. Does anyone use Radio Userland any more?
Oh, and I'm looking forward to flying the 787 someday. It may displace my favorite aircraft the Airbus A330-200.
