Huge in the Netherlands
by matt at 6:00 am on July 3rd, 2007 in PhotosThe Discovery Channel bought my Tour of California photo of Discovery rider Tom Danielson for use in their Tourspel online game. From what I understand, it’s like fantasy football, but for the Tour de France. The photo will run on the Discovery Channel homepage, game page, banner ads, and newspaper ads in Europe.
Notice the placement, above those fleabag Meerkats.

Our Matt!
Please come out of the woodwork, and give him a hand. Speaking from personal experience, I’m sure he can use the love. Just JimC and Sac here in the Comments section (and almost nobody else) gets really depressing every little once in a while.
Also, please practice saying this before a mirror: “Matt Cohen? I used to know him back when he was just starting out. Had a nice little blog. And now look at him!â€

Congrats!
Now, if you can go find the Mythbusters and take photos of them, that would be great, my kids are fans of that show :-)
