Cable TV for 3 weeks: Tour de France

I used to race road bikes, back in 1991, 92, and 93. So I always follow the Tour de France each year. But I've never had cable, and for the last 3 years, I haven't even had a TV. This year that all changes. I ordered full cable on June 28th, and had Mike get a TV from his roommate, who's always rescuing them from the trash. On July 2nd at 6am, I started my morning ritual for the next 23 days: I tuned in to OLN and watched stage 1 of the 2005 Tour de France. Go Zabriskie! Go CSC! Go Basso!

About

I'm an intranet consultant living in Nelson, BC. My company is One Intranets Inc. I'm the co-creator of ThoughtFarmer, social intranet software that powers enterprise intranets in Microsoft environments. I've been consulting on web and intranet projects since 1995 with a particular emphasis on interface design, information architecture and usability analysis.

I live with my wife, Gina, and our three children, Ana (age 7), Sam (age 5), and Reuben (age 1). Gina is my best friend and the absolute bestest wife a man could ever find. Ana is the most hospitable and intuitive 7-year old you'll ever meet. Sam accosts strangers on the street and engages them in deep conversation. Reuben walks from room to room and creates disasters, washing his hands in the toilet, lifting cats by the tail and eating things he finds in the kitchen garbage.

When I'm not working I'm playing with my family: golf, swimming, snorkeling, hockey, skiing and extreme travel. We're currently escaping winter with a 4-month stint in St. Lucia, West Indies.
