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.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be inviting some folks into the Hotmail beta. Today is our first attempt at that, and it looks like it was a success. We made a little treasure hunt for people, and by the looks of it, things went well .
Part of our treasure hunt involved using MSN Spaces. I love this post:
“I totally want to check out the beta, enough so that I opened a spaces account just to track back to this article. Hopefully I'll make the list and I can see how much cooler Kahuna is than the current Hotmail, which is looking a bit dated.” [Ryan Blank]
As I said, there will be more ways to get into the beta soon .
