Steve Rubel’s Skin Cancer Blog
Steve Rubel of the great Micro Persuasion blog has been diagnosed with skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma, “the most common and most treatable form of skin cancer”, as Steve says).

Steve adds, “Please link on the words skin cancer so that it begins to get some Google Juice and ranks highly on the right searches.” All the best from here. [Via Miel.]
