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.

Last week I hopped over the pond (the other one) to visit my wife again, and had a great time in Oahu. Going back in 2 weeks and then off to Maui with my family for 6 days. After that my wife comes back home with me . Living alone is for the birds.
Two of the highlights:
Turtle Beach (click to see the full album)
A bunch of folks hanging out with 4 sea turtles. Everyone was so happy.
Isn't he cute?
USS Arizona Memorial (click to see the full album)
The inside of the memorial.
The ship is still leaking fuel. It's a realy somber experience watching the oil bubble up. Since the ship is an official Tomb, and final resting place for over 1000 people, they cannot actually enter the ship to investigate the fuel leak. Furtheremore, a lot of folks are opposed to them doing anything about it as they feel the ship is "crying".
