Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife, child and cat. I have worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College, mostly in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express, Entourage, IE, and Virtual PC. I am currently a Senior Lead Program Manager on the Windows Live Hotmail Frontdoor team. I basically manage a team of Program Managers responsible for the User Interface of Hotmail as well as some of the Infrastructure and Architecture. 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.

E-mail
Yahoo has an excellent and short primer on 13 performance tips for web developers.
The only bug is that for Tip #13 they recommend disabling ETags because if you use more than one box to serve graphics requests, the ETags won't match from machine to machine.
Well we use ETags just fine with Hotmail because IIS allows you to synchronize ETags across boxes.
Either way, this is good stuff.
