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.

This is going to sound silly, but I was really really sad about his death. I remember when I was growing up my father and I would watch him on TV every day (back when you would watch the news with your parents). I remember watching him at the Berlin Wall. I never knew or watched any of the other shows/anchors. Today I find CNN to be frustrating (as are the other networks). When I am overseas, it’s a breath of fresh are to watch the BBC.
Peter was a great anchor because he was a fantastic reporter. I don’t feel that he ever pushed his agenda on anyone, and that’s how I like my news.
I never got to meet him, but I feel like I knew him. So very sad. If only because it’s a gentle reminder that the things I know and have experienced are starting to slip away.
