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.

The other night I was playing travel agent and realized what a pain in the neck it is to use the travel sites out there. Most have lamo date/time pickers and require many mouse clicks to simply search for a flight.
Well, Aditya sent me a MagicWord for SlickRun that accomplishes this task very elegantly. All you need to do is type:
fly sfo to jfk march 15 - 20
And you get a ton of search results.
Just create a MagicWord called fly and set the url to:
http://www.mobissimo.com/onebox_process_air.php?onebox=$I$
Love it.
