Since I moved into the city, I’ve been forced to make a lot of choices in order to save money. Getting rid of a TV was easily the simplest decision I’ve made yet. Since the invention of Hulu, paying Comcast for the luxury of watching a larger screen collectively seemed illogical to my three roommates and me.

For those of you who don’t know, I’m a huge car guy. I’ve been hooked on hot rods and muscle cars ever since my Dad took me to my first car show at age 6.

Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to attend the Smartcard Alliance‘s NFC Solutions Summit with a few Racepoint clients.

A recent article, “Mobile Technology May Influence Medical School Training,” in U.S. News and World Report discusses how mobile technology has changed the medical field and medical training.
