Get Up and Go in a Can

Sun, 17 Sep 2006 09:46:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Artizan - Red Bull was born when Dietrich Mateschitz and Nina Avery saw rickshaw cabbies drinking a homemade product that gave them the energy to keep going all day. Red Bull was born in 1984 when the original recipe was changed to make the flavor more...

My favorite hotel in the area.

Sat, 2 Sep 2006 00:52:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Artizan - We use this hotel for visitors to our business. The staff has always been helpful and the amenities are the best in the price range. (If you're looking for truly elegant, look for the Hyatt Lost Pines Resort - This place rocks!). This is the newest...

Circus Circus: Even the employees don't like it!

Thu, 20 Jan 2005 01:50:41 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Artizan - We spent a week in Circus Circus. It will be the only week we ever spend there. It is the very definition of "poorly managed". I thought the building was very nice overall, with the notable exception of the bedding. The beds were horrible! As someone...

Wed, 15 Sep 2004 23:37:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Artizan - Monster.com is the premiere on-line community for people seeking employment.

1996 GMC Jimmy: 125,000 miles and still going every day.

Sun, 12 Sep 2004 23:35:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Artizan - We bought our Jimmy 4 door LS brand new in September 1995 (1996 model year). It breezed passed the extended warranty without a hitch. Then it withstood the worst thing you can do to a vehicle - it sat in storage for 2 years without being started. At that...

The Good, the Bad, The V-Rod

Sun, 12 Sep 2004 19:30:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Artizan - Harley finally gave us a fast bike. Since I'm not a Buell fan, I'll discount those from the outset. (I personally think that design teams should start from the ground up, rather than stick half a Sportster engine in a new frame and call it a new bike)...

U-Pack, U-Load, U-Haul, U-Unload, U-Unpack

Sun, 12 Sep 2004 11:00:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Artizan - I'm a fan of U-Haul, if for no other reason than they created the concept of low cost moving solutions. I have used U-Haul twice in the last year. The first time to rent an automotive hauler to bring my daughter's Mercury home after breaking down some...

I got sold to Bank One. They wanted more than my credit.

Fri, 3 Sep 2004 22:45:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Artizan - I had a FirstUSA card. I was actually very satisfied with it, even though I didn't use it much and it had no balance. I needed emergency cash at one point, and the people at FirstUSA were extremely helpful. After that, when I did use a card, I used this...

Original appearance, solid performance

Thu, 26 Aug 2004 23:22:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Artizan - My wife has a 2003 Suzuki Intruder. It's basically the same bike as the 2000, so I've included the review here. We've put over 3,500 miles on this bike in the last year and have found it to be reliable and enjoyable to ride. The seat is comfortable,...

The epicenter of the Yellow Rose

Sun, 16 May 2004 00:27:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Artizan - Austin is: The live music capital of the world, the silicon valley of Texas (if it's good enough for Michael Dell-then it's good enough), rated the best place for single people in the world (Sperling's Best Places), home of the University of Texas...

Two Years in Jamaica - Ya Mon.

Fri, 16 Apr 2004 23:56:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Artizan - I had the opportunity to build a company in Jamaica. Fortunately, I was young (32) and was able to experience the whole island. After two years, I came away with very mixed feelings. First the downside. It's a third world country with extreme poverty...

Where the rubber hits the office

Wed, 24 Sep 2003 08:42:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Artizan - Life is an exciting thing. To make it more exciting one occasionally has to push the envelope. In order to expand my limits I decided to review rubber bands. Don't worry, I took all precautions and worked with a net. No reason to get too crazy. Since I...

If you really wanna have some fun.....

DO NOT accept a credit card from MBNA

Sun, 15 Jun 2003 04:05:18 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Artizan - MBNA could find a way to suck blood from a turnip. This has to be the absolute worst credit card on the planet. You're better off going to your local mafia henchmen and borrowing money rather than putting one thing on this card. Let me be very clear on...

10,000,000 Post It notes and a message from God.

Mon, 9 Jun 2003 21:13:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Artizan - Jim Carrey is generally too much slapstick and not enough cerebral activity for me. And yet I found this movie very entertaining; even the parts that you knew were going to be there.

Mr. Carrey plays Bruce Nolan, mild mannered reporter who...

Sun, 8 Jun 2003 18:58:33 GMT

Thu, 5 Jun 2003 22:14:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Artizan - I live in a little town in Central Texas. Out here we don't have us a Best Buy or Circuit City. We've got Walmart and Harvey's Mowers. While Harvey thought about handling this fine Sony Camera, he eventually decided not to; which made obtaining it...

The tough test of a good mower.

Sun, 20 Apr 2003 03:59:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Artizan - I've had my mower for about 4 years. Overall it's been a good mower. Mine comes with the 20.5 horsepower Briggs & Stratten engine and the 42" mower deck.

When we first bought this mower is was used for mowing about 4 acres of hilly land that...
