this guy was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS) 4 years ago and immediately started blogging about it. since ALS destroys motor functions and not the mind, he can still think perfectly normally but has a hard time typing in the blog after a while. its a very interesting blog to go back and read the archives.
