Update 3/13/13: It appears this solution is already well under way by several capable companies. You can read about eight companies in Jonah Comstock’s article over at MobiHealthNews. The last two, by e-Pill and Phillips are not particularly impressive or appealing to me, being based on older technology, but the rest appear quite interesting. Vitality …
We have a problem on our hands – device proliferation. If you work in IT like me it is likely that you suffer from having a plethora of heterogeneous devices: a work laptop, a work desktop, a home desktop or laptop, a smartphone, an ebook reader, and a tablet…and that is just the short list. …

Update 7/12/14: A great article over at Borro explaining what Bitcoin is, how it works, etc. Highly recommend reading it. This article still has more links to jump off of, but the Borro article is really, illustrated, and concise. Bitcoin has become all the rage in recent days. At first it was just a niche news …
Today as I was driving home from work I was listening to NPR and heard a story about the congressional battle over capping fees banks charge for purchases. Such a cap would benefit retailers (anyone who accepts debit cards) and would theoretically result in lower prices for the consumer. Apparently, the battle has been pretty …
So, I’m taking my coromega omega-3 every day, and loving it. It tastes good, is easy to consume, and doesn’t require me to eat food with it….now, here is the million dollar question – why isn’t there (or is there) a multi-vitamin like coromega?
