For the 2006 TechEd in Boston, Doug Reilly (Microsoft MVP for ASP.Net and follow Jerseyan) had a Birds of a Feather session on Geeks with Cancer and other Serious Diseases which was spurred on by his article A Personal Perspective on the Responsibilities of a Cancer-surviving Software Developer. Well, if you know Doug and/or have been keeping up with his non-technical blog, he has been fighting the good fight against the latest reemergence of cancer. But some of us have noticed that, well, Doug has been a little down lately (and who can blame him?). With the recent announcement that the cancer has moved into his spine and he can't move below the waist, I would say that he could definitely use a little something to help cheer him up. So, if you know Doug and have his email address, I'm sure he would love to hear from you. Otherwise, you can stop by his site and maybe sign his guestbook, or even better, donate to the LIVESTRONG Challenge via the Doug Reilly Team Page.

About donxml
I’m an independent consultant, specializing in .Net solutions architecture, based out of New Jersey who also doubles as an evangelist for XML, Domain Driven Design, enterprise architecture and .Net. I do not work for Microsoft, the W3C or any other big company that you may know of (at least not yet). I’ve been an indie for over ten years, and although I’ve been tempted a couple times to take a job with companies like Microsoft, I’ve haven’t found something better than my current situation. I work mostly with the large pharmaceuticals that are based here in New Jersey, and usually find myself on long term contracts. Definitely not the prototypical indie consultant, but it lets me dedicate time to my non-income generating activities like the developer community stuff, plus financing open source projects like XPathmania and MVP-XML. If you would like to talk to me about doing some contract work, just contact me via the contact page. My rates vary widely, depending on lots of different variables, but mostly distance from Jersey, and type of work. Plus, I’ve been known to donate some of my code for various projects.
