Sprained my ankle

My Olympic ambitions were dashed to pieces today when I twisted my ankle on a training run. I was running along, thinking to myself, "Boy, you're pretty fast. Yeah. Maybe you can get a personal best in the 10K this weekend. Yeah. I'm quick. Yeah. AAAARRRRRGGHHHH!!!!! MY ANKLE!" I seem to do this every two years or so. Same ankle. If I'm lucky, maybe I'll be able to run again in 10 days or so. Last time, I was out for 3 months. Maybe it's time to switch to rollerblading.

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.
