This is a cross post that originally appeared on my Substack newsletter Soon after that last post in July of 2024, I started a health crisis that lasted until February of this year. Other than to say I'm a lot better now, driving, and working, I will not gross you out with the details. The other change I’m going to make is to post most everything I do here to my blog . The blog goes back to November of 2008. I’d like it to be a record of my writings everywhere. I did not want to touch a computer for over seven months, but I had started on a project before I got sick and have resumed working on it. And I learned about some medical tech, and how to use your phone to make yourself a better medical consumer. These will be in future posts.
