Last weekend I went up to Tokyo to do a session at the Tokyo Linux User Group (TLUG), and along the way I met up with my friend Matthew “Karamoon” Dons for a conversation in Yokohama. Matthew has been fighting cancer for over seven years now, and he provides a comprehensive update here in this discussion. He’s got an amazing story because he was given just months to live at the time of diagnosis! Check him out and follow his story at his website, YouTube, and Facebook.

We also talked about learning, doctors, nurses, hackers, software, AI, and other such interesting issues. Matthew and I used to meet and talk about these things all the time over some coffee and tea. We don’t live near each other these days so we’ll hopefully continue our conversations here via this podcast.
