I was expecting a rather below par day today, with the 9/11 Anniversary dominating news sources and Twitter. However, there are bits of sunshine through the clouds with news of Mark Cavendish winning the first stage of the Tour of Britian, aussie Sam Stosur winning the womens US Open and a performing cashcow.
Day off today and went a little crazy, so there's a fair whack to get through…

Super happy with the win today in #TourOfBritain. Thanks to the legends that are my team-mates. #MACHINES. Going to miss them a great deal.
- Well done Cav. As you probably all know, HTC-Highroad team fold at the end of this season. Emotional week ahead.

- Yeah, this IS strange. Renshaw leads Cav to victory with an impressive record, second to none.

Is 3D TV doomed? | ITworld http://ow.ly/6rulk
- OH, LET'S HOPE SO!!! The 3D push by film studios is designed to encourage people back into the cinema. As for 3D TV, live 3D broadcasts (sport in particular) will never take off in the current economic environment. Here in Australia, there's certainly no money in it for commercial broadcasters. I read a recent report that the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) had received no further applications for 3D TV trials and 3D transmitters had been dismantled from broadcast towers. The 3D TV innovation maybe resigned to an enthusiast market watching 3D titles on Blu-Ray. That's probably too small for TV manufacturers to support.
