In the realm of Web performance measurement and monitoring, one of the eternal and ever-present questions remains “What is fast?”. The simple fact is that there is no single answer for this question, as it it isn’t a question with one quantitative answer that encompasses all the varied scenarios that are presented to the Web [...]

In: RANTING
20 Apr 2007Ian Holsman was standing in the bank, when he overheard a woman getting a bank draft to send to the Netherlands to claim her treasure. [here]

Of course data security is (NOT) important in the US
In: RANTING
15 Feb 2007James Governor of RedMonk covers the serious fine Nationwide just got in the UK. [HERE and original post HERE]
This post immediately left me with the feeling (and it’s an oogie feeling) that the country in which I reside is completely borked when it comes to data security.

The Joy and Stigma of Burnout
7 Dec 2006Today, the sun is shining and I am working from home, so things don’t seems as bad.

Canada: Drive-Thru Starbucks
10 Jul 2006I am ot sure why these happy discoveries have not made their way south of the border, but here in Canada, some of the Starbucks’ stores have drive-thru windows.

In: Uncategorized
19 Apr 2006I read about the Jimi Wallet on 43 Folders today.
I immediately ordered 2: one for me and one for Samantha.
We have both pared ourselves down to the bare essentials already, and this is one more step in that direction. I can see it being especially useful when you are travelling, when all you really need [...]
President Bush secures the country for his protection
In: RANTING
7 Feb 2006It should come as no surprise that I am a fan of “graphic novels”, known as “comic books” when I was coming of age. One of my favourites is the Dark Knight | Dark Knight Returns series.
In the Dark Knight Returns, the US is run by a cabal with a holographic presidential avatar as their [...]

Lifehacker has a great list of the airlines that offer WiFi. [here]
They also offer this quote:
Boeings Connexion, the wifi service for airplanes, adds 600 to 800 pounds to a plane. With rising fuel costs and U.S. airlines struggling to stay afloat, the system hasnt yet been adopted on this side of the pond.
This is a [...]
Rick Segal: Welcome to Wells Fargo
In: smp
6 May 2005Dear Rick:
Read your post on the fun at Wells Fargo yesterday.
WF was my bank of choice when I was in California. And after a similar experience wiring money, you know what we resorted to when sending money home to Canada?
Bank draft and FedEx.
Goes to my point that US Banks are the last holdouts from the [...]
