Technology is all around us nowadays. Sometimes it can be distracting, but other time it can be life saving.
Which was that case when an Apple Watch saved a 70-year-old woman’s life in Arizona recently. The watch was showing that her heart rate was 174 and that she was in A-Fib “call your doctor immediately” So she went straight to the E.R. and ended up spending a week in the hospital. Turns out she had an irregular heartbeat that could’ve led to stroke or blood clotting if not treated.
She reached out to Apple CEO Tim Cook last week to share her story. Tim sent back a response and thanked her for telling him the story saying how stories like this inspire them (Apple) to keep pushing forward.
Incredible.

You probably clicked millions of links in your internet life. And have most likely noticed that most of them are highlighted in blue. But why that color?
It all started back when the internet first came around and there were only a few web browsers. The most popular being Mosaic on Windows. Because the background was gray and the text was black lighter colors didn’t really show up well. So they went with the dark royal blue we all see today when we click a link.
Obviously now we’ve come so far that link colors can be changed, but when you see that OG blue hyperlink now you know how it all started.

Axel loves being up on high places, and that includes your shoulders! He’s a bit big for his age and is sure to be a big boy as he grows up, with his very fluffy fur coat! He’s also an absolute purr machine and a true people person.
