“With Apple Watch Series 6, you can measure your blood oxygen right from your wrist.” This was the punch line for Apple’s latest update to its Watch lineup during the “Time for a recap” event on September 15th. The intensivist and anesthesiologist in me was irked by the constant reference…
I had a Western Digital (WD) EX-4100 RAID-10 network-attached storage (NAS) serve as the backbone for my data storage over the last few years. This week, I upgraded to a Drobo 8D direct-attached storage (DAS) connected to my iMac Pro via Thunderbolt 3. The performance difference is incredible.

As part of preparing my new apartment for attending-hood, I modified my previous Hackintosh to be a Windows computer specifically made for gaming.
In preparation for my furniture’s arrival from Boston tomorrow, I decided to continue my “smart apartment” set up by upgrading the stock Honeywell thermostat to an Ecobee3 Lite smart thermostat.
