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.

Microsoft researcher Jim Gray is missing at sea while on a solo sailing trip. I hope Jim is found soon. I met Jim randomly at a Microsoft event awhile back and had a highly memorable discussion with him about various technologies and the Tablet PC. He's not only smart as Robert Scoble points out, he's a genuinely nice person. Other news covering Jim Gray:Information Week: Jim Gray has "...teacher's patience with my questions."San Francisco Chronicle: Jim "...apparently disappeared on a day cruise to the Farallon Islands."Seattle Post Intelligencer: "The Coast Guard searched all night with a C-130 plane"

Oh, this is terrible. Jim Gray is a highly respected computer scientist. Microsoft is lucky to have him. I do hope they find him soon.
Jim was pretty instrumental in helping to build some of the current hotmail backend storage infrastructure.
