There were so many people, including nurses and doctors, out there to support her.

Leah Whitehead is an amazing person, a reminder of just how much potential we all have.
I know that, on my death bed, I would regret not giving this a shot.
Out of all of the people I discovered traversing the Apple enthusiast landscape, Casey is one of my favourites. He is a great addition to the indie worker ecosystem. 👏
Listening to Merlin Mann and John Siracusa talk about Apple’s problems with attracting entry-level customers on Reconcilable Differences and they are nailing it. Apple are simply no longer head-and-shoulders above everybody else.
