New Faces, Expanded Access and Specialized Colorectal Care
There are healthcare conversations most of us would rather avoid. Colorectal health is probably near the top of that list. Yet these conversations can make an important difference in our health and, in some cases, our lives. That is why I am especially pleased to welcome Dr. Sarah Kling and Dr. Jacob Neary to Physicians Regional Healthcare System. Both bring specialized training, advanced surgical expertise and, perhaps most importantly, a commitment to listening to and caring for patients.
Getting Her Life Back
Nicole Sullivan and Dr. Amanda Sacino. When Nicole Sullivan describes herself, she keeps it simple: "I have four children, and I love life." That makes what she went through—and where she is today—all the more meaningful. A former gymnast and competitive springboard and platform diver, Nicole spent years living with progressively worsening neck and back pain. Several injuries from her younger athletic years, including some frightening diving accidents, eventually caught up with her.
Knee Replacement Doesn’t Have to Mean Giving Up an Active Life
For many people, the words “knee replacement” can sound intimidating. The good news is that today’s knee replacement procedures are far more sophisticated—and, in many cases, far less invasive—than many people realize. Frederick F. Buechel, Jr., M.D., FAAOS, an orthopedic surgeon with Physicians Regional Medical Group, has spent his career helping patients understand their options and get back to the activities they enjoy.
AAHOA Applauds U.S.-India Trade Breakthrough by President Trump and Prime Minister Modi
ATLANTA, GA — AAHOA (Asian American Hotel Owners Association) congratulates President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on reaching a new U.S.–India trade agreement that lowers tariffs and strengthens economic cooperation between the world's two largest democracies. The agreement marks a major step forward in bilateral trade relations, reducing reciprocal tariffs and committing both nations to expanded commercial engagement.
Physicians Regional Healthcare System
It is essential for women to have a relationship with a gynecologist for preventive healthcare, lifelong reproductive health management, and specialized care throughout all life stages. A trusted gynecologist provides guidance on issues from menstruation and birth control to pregnancy and menopause, while also performing screenings for STDs, cancers, and other conditions. This long-term, trusting relationship allows for personalized care and early detection of potential health problems.
Understanding Health CARE
In the past, when we needed medical care, we typically called "the doctor"—a one-size-fits-all term for someone who could allegedly treat all that ails you. Well, even in the past, one size never "fit all." For example, over the past three decades, the expansion of medical specialties and technology is best described as an acceleration toward hyper-specialization and digital integration, driven by exponential growth in medical knowledge and technological innovation.
I Feel It in My Bones
The variety of reasons health care professionals provide to explain their career specialties never ceases to inspire me. Some follow in the footsteps of a beloved family member or mentor, while others cite a family or personal healthcare crisis for shaping their decision-making process. Most common is an unyielding desire to be of service - to provide comfort and care to others. Brian Cross, DO, decided to become an orthopedic trauma specialist because it resonated with him as a junior resident.

How to Successfully Navigate Hospitality Development Costs
Hotel Management Best Practices Hotel Management Best Practices Denver's Populus Hotel utilized cost-mitigation strategies to keep its unique design intact. Hospitality development has always been a bit riskier typology and high-stakes endeavor, but the past year has underscored just how volatile the economics of design and construction have become. According to The Beck Group’s Summer 2025 Cost Report, the drivers of higher costs are neither singular nor short-term.
VMware vSphere: Evolutionary or Revolutionary?
Product Reviews The new virtualization suite expands upon previous Virtual Infrastructure capabilities and adds some new showstoppers.
Conditional Git Configuration
Building on the earlier article on automatically transforming Git URLs, I’m back with another article on a (potentially powerful) feature of Git—the ability to conditionally include Git configuration files. This means you can configure Git to be configured (and behave) differently based on certain conditions, simply by including or not including Git configuration files. Let’s look at a pretty straightforward example taken from my own workflow.
Saying Goodbye to the Full Stack Journey
In January 2016, I published the first-ever episode of the Full Stack Journey podcast. In October 2023, the last-ever episode of the Full Stack Journey podcast was published. After almost seven years and 83 episodes, it was time to end my quirky, eclectic, and unusual podcast that explored career journeys alongside various technologies, products, and open source projects. In this post, I wanted to share a few thoughts about saying goodbye to the Full Stack Journey.
What Would Your Gastroenterologist Say?
I recently came across a long-time patient who claimed to be a "gastrointestinal nightmare"(his words, not mine).Of course, I was happy when the patient proceeded to sing the praises of almost every Physicians Regional gastro and colorectal team member. "When I was in my 30s, I didn't even know what a gastroenterologist was, "he explained. "And I certainly didn't know how much I needed their expertise-even back then.
Fast Roughing of Superalloys
The aerospace and defense industry (A&D) continues to use more heat-resistant superalloys (HSRA) and exotic materials such as Inconel 718, Hastelloy, Haynes, Rene and Nimonic. These materials have desirable characteristics—high strength, corrosion resistance and thermal stability—that make them able to withstand extreme conditions like the heat of a jet engine, which can exceed 2,000° F (1,093° C).

Aerospace Industry Drives Change in Deep Hole Drill
The aerospace industry has long depended on gundrilling and deep hole drilling to manufacture many critical components used in commercial and military aircraft. Deep hole drilling is used for landing gear, cylinders, actuators, piston rods, fittings, shafts, pins and even fasteners. Long, deep holes in parts made from exotic materials are common, and many of these parts have challenging features such as thin wall sections, stepped bores, internal contours and blended transitions.
Technology Short Take 169
Welcome to Technology Short Take #169! Prior to the recent Spousetivities post, it had been a few months since I posted on the site; life has been busy, and it hasn’t left much time for blogging. Hopefully things will settle down soon, but until then I’ll continue to do the best I can to share useful information with folks. Hopefully something I’ve included in this Technology Short Take proves to be useful to someone.
Spousetivities Returns to VMware Explore 2023
After a lengthy hiatus—prompted by a pandemic and the suspension of in-person events as a result—Spousetivities returns to VMware Explore! VMware Explore, the event formerly known as VMworld, is happening in Las Vegas, NV, and Spousetivities will be there offering organized activities for spouses, partners, significant others, family, or friends traveling with conference attendees.
Technology Short Take 168
Welcome to Technology Short Take #168! Although this weekend is (in the US, at least) celebrated as Mother’s Day weekend—don’t forget to call or visit your mom!—I thought you all might want some light weekend reading. I’m here to help, after all. To that end, here’s the latest Technology Short Take, with links to a variety of articles in various disciplines. Enjoy! Networking Ivan Pepelnjak has been on a bit of a DHCP relaying kick.
Technology Short Take 167
Welcome to Technology Short Take #167! This Technology Short Take is a tad shorter than the typical one; I’ve been busy recently and my intake volume of content has gone down, thus resulting in fewer links to share with all of you! I opted to go ahead and publish a shorter Technology Short Take instead of making everyone wait around for a longer one.
Creating a Talos Linux Cluster on Azure with Pulumi
A little over a month ago I published a post on creating a Talos Linux cluster on AWS with Pulumi. Talos Linux is a re-thinking of your typical Linux distribution, custom-built for running Kubernetes. Talos Linux has no SSH access, no shell, and no console; instead, everything is managed via a gRPC API. This post is something of a “companion post” to the earlier AWS post; in this post, I’ll show you how to create a Talos Linux cluster on Azure with Pulumi.
Technology Short Take 166
Welcome to Technology Short Take #166! I’ve been collecting links for the last few weeks, and now it’s time to share them with all of you. There are some familiar names in the links below, but also some newcomers—and I’m really excited to see that! I’m constantly on the lookout for new sources (if you have a site you think I should check out, hit me up—my contact info is at the bottom of this post!). But enough of that, let’s get on with the content.
Creating a Talos Linux Cluster on AWS with Pulumi
Talos Linux is a Linux distribution purpose-built for running Kubernetes. The Talos web site describes Talos Linux as “secure, immutable, and minimal.” All system management is done via an API; there is no SSH access, no shell, and no console. In this post, I’ll share how to use Pulumi to automate the creation of a Talos Linux cluster on AWS.
Technology Short Take 165
Welcome to Technology Short Take #165! Over the last few weeks, I’ve been collecting articles I wanted to share with readers on major areas in technology: networking, security, storage, virtualization, cloud computing, and OSes/applications. This particular Technology Short Take is a tad heavy on cloud computing, but there’s a decent mix of other articles as well.
Stage Manager is Incomplete
I’ve been using macOS Stage Manager off and on for a little while now. In Stage Manager, I can see the beginnings of what might be a very useful paradigm for desktop computing. Unfortunately, in its current incarnation, I believe Stage Manager is incomplete. Note that I haven’t yet tried Stage Manager on my iPad; my comments here apply only to the macOS implementation.
Automating Docker Contexts with Pulumi
Since I switched my primary workstation to an M1-based MacBook Pro (see my review here), I’ve starting using temporary AWS EC2 instances for compiling code, building Docker images, etc., instead of using laptop-local VMs. I had an older Mac Pro (running Fedora) here in my home office that formerly filled that role, but I’ve since given that to my son (he’s a young developer who wanted a development workstation).
A Depth Year in 2023
Off and on for a number of years, I published a “projects for the coming year” post and a “report card for last year’s projects” post (you can find links to all of these here). Typically, the project list was composed of new things I would learn and/or new things I would create or do. While there’s nothing wrong with this sort of thing—not at all!—I came across an idea while reading that I’ve decided I’ll adopt for 2023: a depth year.
Technology Short Take 162
Welcome to Technology Short Take #162! It’s taken me a bit longer than I would have liked to get this post assembled, but it’s finally here. Hopefully I’ve managed to find something you’ll find useful! As usual, the links below are organized by technology area/discipline, and I’ve added a little bit of commentary to some of the links where it felt necessary.
Technology Short Take 161
Welcome to Technology Short Take #161! It’s been a little over a month since the last Technology Short Take, although the Full Stack Journey recently did an “Audio Edition” of a Technology Short Take that you should probably check out. In any case, I’ve spent the last month collecting links to articles and tutorials from around the web on all the various technologies that us IT folk are likely to encounter in our day-to-day adventures.
Network Programmability and Automation, Second Edition
In late 2015, I was lucky enough to be part of a small crew of authors who launched a new book project targeting “next-generation network engineering skills.” That book, Network Programmability and Automation, was published by O’Reilly and has garnered praise and accolades for tackling head-on the topics that network engineers should consider mastering as the field of network engineering continues to grow and evolve.

Technology Short Take 156
Welcome to Technology Short Take #156! It’s been about a month since the last Technology Short Take, and in that time I’ve been gathering links that I wanted to share with my readers. (I still have quite the backlog of links to read!) Hopefully something I share here will prove useful to someone. Enjoy the links below, and enjoy your weekend! Networking I’d never heard of Pipy before seeing it in this article, but it look like it could be quite useful for a number of use cases.
Making Flatpak Firefox use Private Browsing by Default
In April 2021 I wrote a post on making Firefox use Private Browsing by default, in which I showed how to modify the GNOME desktop file so that Firefox would open private windows by default without restricting access to normal browsing windows and functionality. I’ve used that technique on all my Fedora-based systems since that time, until just recently. What happened recently, you ask? I switched to the Flatpak version of Firefox.
Technology Short Take 155
Welcome to Technology Short Take #155, just in time for the 2022 Memorial Day holiday weekend! (Here in the US, at least.) I mean, don’t you want to spend this weekend catching up on some technology-related articles instead of cooking on the grill and gathering with friends and family? I certainly hope not! Still, for those who need a little technology fix over the weekend, hopefully I’ve included something useful in the list of articles below.

Technology Short Take 152
Published on 28 Feb 2022 · Filed in Information · 912 words (estimated 5 minutes to read) Welcome to Technology Short Take #152! Normally I’d publish a Technology Short Take in the morning on a Friday, but I really wanted to get this one out so I’m making it live late in the day on a Monday. Here’s hoping I’ve included some content below that you find useful! Networking I was (and am) familiar with RFC 1918 and the concept of non-routable address spaces.
Technology Short Take 150
Published on 31 Dec 2021 · Filed in Information · 837 words (estimated 4 minutes to read) Welcome to Technology Short Take #150! This is the last Technology Short Take of 2021, so hopefully I’ll close the year out “with a bang” with this collection of links and articles on various technology areas. Bring on the content! Networking Ivan Pepelnjak has a post on running network automation tools in a container.
Review: OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock
Published on 23 Dec 2021 · Filed in Review · 524 words (estimated 3 minutes to read) About six months ago I purchased an OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock to replace my Anker PowerElite Thunderbolt 3 Dock (see my review here). While there was nothing necessarily wrong with the Anker PowerElite, it lacked a digital audio port that I could use to send audio to a soundbar positioned under my monitor.

Published on 10 Dec 2021 · Filed in Information · 540 words (estimated 3 minutes to read) Welcome to Technology Short Take #149! I’ll have one more Technology Short Take in 2021, scheduled for three weeks from now (on the last day of the year!). For now, though, I have a small collection of articles and links for your reading pleasure—not as many as I usually include in a Technology Short Take, but better than nothing at all (I hope!).
Technology Short Take 148
Published on 19 Nov 2021 · Filed in Information · 831 words (estimated 4 minutes to read) Welcome to Technology Short Take #148, aka the Thanksgiving Edition (at least, for US readers). I’ve been scouring RSS feeds and various social media sites, collecting as many useful links and articles as I can find: from networking hardware and networking CI/CD pipelines to Kernel TLS and tricks for improving your working memory. That’s quite the range! I hope that you find something useful here.

So, What is Secondary Storage Cohesity-Style? - Enterprise Storage Guide - News, Analysis & Reviews
Just as you’ve managed to wrap your head around the craziness that is the world of modern storage comes an emerging concept: secondary storage. At first, you may think that the term secondary storage in the context of modern storage is simply a different way to refer to backups. Not so, according to Cohesity. Cohesity is working on redefining this term to encompass pretty much any storage needs that are not assigned to be directly supported by primary storage. Clear as mud?
Are Solid State Disk Storage Options Right for Your Enterprise?
Random Access Are Solid State Disk Storage Options Right for Your Enterprise? When weighing the benefits of the newest player in the storage market, enterprises need to look at the increased performance vs. the relatively small storage size. By Scott D. Lowe 05/07/2013 Solid state disks based on flash storage are all the rage these days. Companies scramble to integrate bleeding edge technology into their company portfolios in order to jump ahead of the curve in capitalizing on new trends.
