Interesting links 2009-06-17

If you ask that question to a friend, most people will say that they want to be able to surf the web to find information and do email.

I have noticed that several of the authors of blogs that I follow occasionally post interesting or useful links. I have decided to adopt the practice. The links I provide will generally be to technical sites or to sites that I think will be of interest to a wide audience of readers.

My husband had a heart attack last summer. It caused quite a scare since he did not seem to be a heart attack candidate. He eats sensibly, watches his weight, exercises regularly and his medical tests were in the normal or very slightly elevated range. On the advice of his cardiologist, we invested in a blood pressure machine. I have been looking for a good blood pressure chart, and I have found one! Check this link out:

I bought my first iPhone the day it was released. I stood in line and had a lot of fun visiting with other early adopters. Last year, I stood in line and bought my iPhone on day 1 again. This year, have to wait! When I went to the Apple page to check my status and possibly order my iPhone instead of waiting in line, was disappointed to learn that I will need to wait until July 12 to buy my new iPhone without paying a penalty to replace my phone early. Use this link to check your iPhone status:

If you have a first or second generation iPhone, you probably want to upgrade it soon after the iPhone 3.0 software is released. I plan to be an early adopter and download it as soon as it becomes available. There are some things that you probably should do before beginning the upgrade. I suggest reading this upgrade guide written by the people over at The Mac Observer:
