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.

If you've been wondering about PMC check out this excellent review by Corey Gouker.
I've been dogfooding (testing) a Creative Zen device since the very early days (months ago) and love it. I just leave it plugged into my MCE over night and it sync'es tv shows and audio.
Since all my music is ripped as lossless WMA, I can have WMP transcode from losless to 160 KPbs allowing me to listen to lossless music on my Media Center and take all my music with me on my PMC. I happen to love the UI and the Album Art for Music. I find it so natural to browse my music collection by looking at album covers.
