I was killing some time at our local CVS pharmacy tonight, waiting for the pharmacist to refill a prescription when my gaze fell to the display of blood pressure monitors. Small circumstance that, as the prescription happened to be for a blood pressure medication. Now why am I babbling about that in Lockergnome? Well… the blood pressure monitor that caught my eye comes with software and a USB connection…

I’ve had high blood pressure for a while. I honestly can’t remember how many years it’s been, but I can say that I’ve mostly been lax about using a blood pressure monitor. The unit we have is more than ten years old and it’s been a few years since it’s had a fresh set of batteries.

Problem is, our old blood pressure monitor lacks geek-appeal.
