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 Senior 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.

Wohoo!!! bullet #2 is the best. Roaming personal status + user tile.
I've been wanting this FOREVER. It was one of the few features left on my wish list for messenger. The only thing left on the list is away messages.
Another feature I've been waiting for:
Personal Invitation - When you add a new contact you can add a message so they know who you are. Especially helpful if your email address is something like ILoveMessenger(at)emaildomain.com - since there are so many of us out there.
This kicks ass... messenger rocks now.
