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.

iTunes 4.5 is out. Most interesting new features:
Welcome to the party. I rip all my audio as WMA Lossless cause I don't want no stinkin compression. However, I trancode all my audio to the latest and greatest audio format.
The fact that it can now import WMA is great cause I'll be able to just point it at my WMA collection and suck it in to my iPod.
I really hope they made it so that the iPod batter meter actually does something useful. Right now it's completely worthless. If I charge my iPod all day long and un plug it, the things starts off as half empty. Sheesh, it's almost as bad as the gas gage in my Audi.
