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 Principal 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.

Who knew that while I wasn't paying attention, the mess of configuring blogging software was solved.
"Really Simple Discovery is a way to help client software find the services needed to read, edit, or "work with" weblogging software. Although I talk about weblogging software, there's no reason this format can't apply to other forms of web client/system software that I wasn't considering, or may not even exist as of this writing. (There is an example below where I did just that.) This format is simple but flexible. One of the deisgn goals was to ensure that it would be human writeable. This was my "test" for ensuring that the format was easy for everyone to implement. "
Anyway, I've just checked this into dasBlog, and it should be part of 1.9 when we release that (no eta yet).
Thanks goes to Daniel Berlinger for taking the initiative and coming up with a reall simple solution to a long standing problem .
