Holy crap! What a jouney!
This has to be the most interesting one yet... Maybe tied with Dan Rubin and that random museum work he did.

@Dan I have to admit I really enjoyed interviewing Rachel. She's a fascinating person. :-)

This is very interesting! For someone who's looking at starting up a media company it would be really interesting to see how a lot of these start-ups got their clients, how they built up their name and how they ran their business in a successful way. Otherwise very inspiring.

Thank you, Rachel, for sharing your very inspirational story! More questions for you:
1. What development tools do you use in your day-to-day work to write, test, debug and deploy your code? Do you use, for example, Dreamweaver, Eclipse, Emacs, Vim, TextMate, Firebug, FirePHP, etc.
2. I know you code both front and back end, but what would you say you code the most- HTML/CSS or Javascript or PHP/MySQL or Ruby or Python or ???
3. What front and backend frameworks do you use- jQuery, Zend Framework, CakePHP, Rails, ???
