Enjoyed your blog and have learned a few things. I've gotten into electronics recently, while in the process of motorizing a telescope. As a Mac user, I've been frustrated with the lack of projects like the DIY EKG project and lack of hardware integration for Macs. I'm toying with making my own EKG that will interface with my Macs so that I can digitally record an EKG, as I'm in the process of going to an electronic medical record. Sciantific American had a DIY EKG article using an Instrumentation Amp (Analog Devices AD624) http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=home-is-where-the-ecg-is&page=1 I'm going to give that one a try. As a fellow professional, I encourage you to find time or make time for hobbies like yours — it's one of the best ways to keep your sanity! Good Luck. Stumbled across you DIY EKG from Hack-a-day.
