I'm sure at least once a day, everyone finds themselves wondering: "What's in Brad's house right now?" Well I've anticipated your need and created a
UPC based inventory system. When Lisa recently asked if there was milk in the fridge, instead of answering her I decided to buy a
UPC scanner for my
kitchen computer. Now she can use her phone to
search our inventory for milk instead of asking me. I then informed her that talking to computers is always preferable to talking to people and that she should be excited about this new project rather than roll her eyes at me. To avoid typing in descriptions for every item I scan, I harnessed the power of
UPC Database, which is a community database of UPC codes. Over 90% of what I scanned was already in the database, which leads me to believe there are people out there who are much more obsessive compulsive than me.
The next time you're brave enough to stop by, don't ask me what kind of beer I have, just check my
basement stairwell or
cabinets.
