I was deep in a dream about quiet mountain trails when a miniature supernova exploded six inches from my eyes. It wasn’t a lightning strike or a home intruder with a flashlight; it was just me, shifting my arm to get comfortable, and my watch deciding I definitely needed to see the time at 3:14…
I was sitting on my porch last Tuesday, looking at my wrist, and honestly wondering if I was having a medical emergency. My watch was insisting my heart rate was 145 bpm while I was just sipping decaf. After a moment of panic, I flipped the watch over and saw it: a thick, hazy layer…
