I just can't post a goatse link in this post....
Don't have words to describe it.
It is touching that this man was able to carry on with things that were important to him despite the crippling effects of ALS. It seems that even near the end of his fight, he took joy from maintaining some normalcy in his life. He really wanted the world to treat him just the same as if he never had the disease - as a man with something positive to add (and the open source model helped make this possible). If it hadn't been for his son, we never would have known of his condition. I don't think Adrian Hands wanted special treatment or consideration from others. Your concerns are admirable, but I think if Mr. Hands were still alive, he wouldn't want to be coddled with kid gloves just because of what he was going through. So go ahead and post your goatse link, just like you would on any other thread. In a perverse way, he would have wanted you to.

The title is misleading. From TFA: “What we want to work towards is something that’s wearable ... but that might be a few years away yet.”
