Blood Pressure, Glucose and ECG Devices for Connected Health Monitoring by Pat Dengler
Guest Post by Pat Dengler of Dengler Consulting I’m going to chat about three devices that I use to monitor my health. What they have in common is that they all report to Apple’s Health app. Each has their own app but with appropriate permissions given, I can see all my readings in one place. […]

In this week’s episode I’ll tell you about an awesome free training site called CodeCademy where I’m supplementing my JavaScript training for Programming By Stealth.

Continue readingMac App Store Rant
I listen to a lot of tech podcasts and many of them have had discussions lately about what’s wrong with the Mac App Store. The level of rant against the Mac App Store has become so high that I feel compelled to voice my own opinions. I’m going to try very hard not to call […]

The grandbaby isn’t here yet, but we’re on the edges of our seats around here. In the mean time I found an app called 1Writer from 1writerapp.com that might help me write in Markdown on the iPad. We’ll take a look at iOS Console, a Mac app from lemonjar.com/… that lets you see the diagnostics […]

I was chatting with my daughter Lindsay the other night about a photo she took using Snapchat. She said she took the photo with Snapchat because it has a built-in low light mode that works much better than the built-in camera on the iPhone. You know I enjoy photography as a hobby with my mirrorless […]

While I was working on my review about 1Writer I noticed something very odd happening. Every time I tried to write the word starting with leading caps “The,” it would change instantly to all lower case. That meant I couldn’t start sentences with The or There. I had just enabled TextExpander so I thought maybe […]
