The Evolution Of Portable ECGs - The Medical Futurist

ECGs started as machines that weighed over 600 pounds & have now become as small as wrist-worn devices. We can expect it to evolve further to become smaller and smarter. My latest takes a pulse on the #ECG evolution timeline. ๐Ÿงช #healthcare #digitalhealth #future

Hideo Kojima relatably says job-hunting made him 'feel like I was a Showa-era detective trying to solve a murder,' and he almost became a no-name pharma guy but for some kind words from a HR person "Everybody was hiding their true selves; we could only act like chameleons trying to change our colors to adapt to each of the companies we were applying for."

"A place where lies meet lies, that's what interviews actually are."

Just @hideokojimaen.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp casually laying out as it is. ๐Ÿซฐ๐Ÿฝ

From what @obsidianent.bsky.social 's Grounded 2 offers so far in Early Access, it seems to keep the creative, whimsical spirit of the first game with improvements and new additions that make the sequel feel larger and shinier (when itโ€™s not lagging or buggy). More ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿฝ

Akira Toriyama's Manga Theater is a must-have collection of the famed mangaka's (and a personal hero) early works for fans of his later (and more popular) works. It gives an insight into the designs & inspirations for the likes of Dragon Ball, and how Toriyama mastered his style over the decades.
