I'm a developer at Microsoft primarily working on Globalization support in Windows. I occasionally blog about work related stuff at http://msdn.microsoft.com/shawnste

As part of my work I also work with standards like Unicode, CLDR, IETF, and IANA. Please Use Unicode! Make International Email (EAI) work! Besides Windows I also touch other groups at Microsoft and used to do a lot with the .Net Globalization.

I have a couple kids, dog, three cats, a few fish (number varies, see previous item in list), and a Lego R2-D2. Outside of work I'm known for playing with kids building toys, see my Lego R2-D2 (http://L3-G0.com) and Disney Wonder Cruise Ship.
