Better get ready for the 2009 version of Jeff Cutler follows the Tour de France.
Going to set it up this weekend and I'll talk about the course and the riders and Lance and all that happy crap.
See you soon. URL will be announced here once I establish it on blogspot.

Lance is back
Lance has announced that he's riding the 2009 Tour de France. That means I'll likely have to go back over to France to cover the race.
I'll keep you updated here and on Jeff Cutler dot com.

Company Synchronicity
Now it seems that there are two other Novel Ideas companies in the nation. I'm guessing the count is much higher, but when I opened my writing services firm on January 1, 1992 I didn't realize that the world would shrink so much as the Internet brought us together.
With my Novel Ideas writing site at Ideas2Words dot com - www.ideas2words.com - I attract a modest amount of business. But as you can guess, the reason my Novel Ideas site isn't at NovelIdeas.com is two-fold.
One - the name was taken. Pure and simple. Novel Ideas is a bookmark company in North Carolina. Good name. Fair product. I was too slow.
Two - NovelIdeas looks like Noveiideas or NoveLLdeas when written out. Having two of the same letter - unless you're google - in your domain name is bad news. So I haven't pursued it.
But now there's a writer marketing herself and her company - Novel Ideas - out in the western part of the United States.
What to do? Cease and desist? Nice letter asking her to give up the name? Combine forces and have two offices of Novel Ideas?
I don't know. Send me your suggestions.
Right now I'm on a writing sabbatical, but still have some billing through both Jeff Cutler and Novel Ideas. So the company isn't on hiatus and isn't going away.
It begs the question of intellectual property in this age of fast-moving people and concerns.
Keep reading...I'll let you know how it all turns out.

SPOILER - Overall Standings after Stage 20
The Tour is effectively over. If the gap were 0:20 or so I could see some riders trying to bridge that gap in Paris. But Carlos Sastre and the CSC team have cemented their win.
Unless Sastre falls and breaks something, the 2008 version of the Tour de France has been wrapped up.
