As Christmas of 2012 draws to a close, I thought I’d point out a heartwarming holiday tale that really highlights the kind of spirit and generosity you find in the geek community (Thanks to Ralph Garman for pointing this out).
There’s a severely disabled boy with Down’s Syndrome in Kentucky who’s a huge Iron Man fan, with Iron Man being one of the few things he ever responds to.
