My work is an important part of my life – after all, like many people I spend more time working than doing anything else. When I started thinking about what I wanted to work on after TV software for cable/telco carriers at Microsoft, I established a set of criteria that I would use to measure [...]
Leaving Microsoft was a tough decision but it was time for a change for me after my final attempt to get traction on my new product idea I had been pitching internally was unsuccessful. I had spent a good portion of the year leading up to this decision considering what would be the right next [...]
This past week marked my ten year anniversary at Microsoft. I never would have guessed that answering the call to join the Mac Internet Explorer team would have led to the long adventure my time at Microsoft has been. Heck, I came in as a Mac guy and now I’m a PC. What’s even more [...]

Those two people who follow my blog have probably given up on following it since I haven’t posted in ages. The caltrain love poem didn’t happen and instead I’ve been having a very time consuming relationship with my work now that I am responsible for the applications, user experience and server components (metadata mostly) for [...]
I know, this sounds weird, but I forgot how much fun it was to hammer nails until yesterday. A group of managers from my team did a full day volunteer project at Habitat for Humanity in Daly City. This was my first H4H experience and I found it to be physically and mentally rewarding, not [...]
