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.

I wanted to impress on folks the size of my new portable device. This picture is a side by side of the samsung and the remote control for my Zen Micro. What I can't figure out is why Best Buy is the only store selling these devices.
You know, I think Samsung is going to be a force to recon with. I have a Samsung Plasma display and love it. I find that their products are more usable than Sony products. They don't have the corporate baggage that Sony has (like supporting all these weird things like Memory Stick, Mini Disk, ATRAC3, Network Walkmans etc).
For a big 20 - 40 GB Music Player the Toshiba Gigabeat looks promising.
