Use Amazon’s Barcode Scanner in a store to look up product reviews on your iPhone in 10 seconds flat
Over the weekend, I found myself in a mall looking for a new camera for my father-in-law. He’s not convinced that he needs a new one, but his daughters have objected to the fact that it requires using a view … Continue reading
Performance: An awk script for computing 95th percentile times straight from web log files (IIS, Tomcat)
When analyzing performance, looking at 95th percentile response times is one of the most useful metrics. While the average can be a good indicator, it can be heavily skewed by lots of small requests or a few extremely long ones. … Continue reading
On 21st century babysitting, and whether Skype will be the next Xerox or Asprin
I’ve been meaning to get a flu shot. I’m a big believer in vaccination, and if getting a shot gives me a decent change of avoiding a debilitating, multi-day illness, then sign me up! Unfortunately, my doctor’s office is no … Continue reading

I’m not convinced that Verizon’s “Live Chat” is really live
After a very negative run-in with Comcast’s repair service (they cancelled my appointment after I didn’t answer a phone call listed as “Private Caller” that they didn’t tell me to expect to a different phone number than the one I … Continue reading
My pre-schooler leads me to an Ah-ha moment about location-based services
As much as I enjoy gadgets and playing with new technology, I always find myself a little behind the curve on the latest trends. When blogs first became popular four or five years ago, I was skeptical. I remember the … Continue reading
Comcast, I think it’s time we started seeing other people…

Chrome App Store has potential, but feels like the right product at the wrong time
