One Step Forward, Two Steps Back: CANon ?

Tue, 7 Oct 2008 01:13:45 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Thorbjore - Disappointed! That is me in a nutshell. I was the proud owner of this model's predecessor, the S3 from the previous year. I LOVED it. Its photos were magical. The color was divine and the resolution, the way it felt in my hand ... everything!...

So Far, Sony.

Thu, 11 Jan 2007 17:52:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Thorbjore - I know they have been discontinued. But I also know that they sell them on ebay still - so they are not exactly obsolete. If you shop for one, you can still find some new in the box. At this point, I don't know how good Sony is for the warranties or...

Catskill Game Farm

Sun, 18 Jun 2006 00:07:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Thorbjore - "Do you want to go see the animals?" I asked my son, who practically started wagging his tail. He is two and a half and we had an unexpected Friday off from work and daycare; the sun was shining but it wasn't too hot. We live in Western...

A Brief Love Affair with Ionic Breeze Comes to an End

Sun, 25 Sep 2005 22:45:32 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Thorbjore - It was love at first whiff. I let the thing run for the first time in my son's room with the door closed. It was winter. When we returned from our errands, his room smelled like a spring breeze. Literally. My father gave it to me when my baby...

Mon, 28 Mar 2005 23:44:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Thorbjore - "Look out! Look out!" my new husband shrieked. A coyote rushed past me. I could have touched it if I swung my arm out at just the right millisecond. My heart palpitated. What a rush. He was a tiny blur at the end of the parking lot before I...

Born to be Wild

Tue, 30 Nov 2004 23:21:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Thorbjore - Get your motor runnin'. Head out on the highway! We're lookin' for adventure ... and whatever comes our way! Yeah, my son gets dressed up in his little leather chaps and we get that "bugs in our teeth and grit in our eyes" kinda feeling when...

Can You Say CLUNKY? But My Son LOVES It!

Sun, 14 Nov 2004 02:06:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Thorbjore - We never called this "walker" a "walker." We preferred the term "stander." We have a very flat, non-plushy, not-at-all-deep carpet and the kid couldn't budge it. On a linoleum floor or on a wooden floor he could inch around, but this big and...

Stuck Between a Rock and San Francisco

Wed, 19 May 2004 00:43:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Thorbjore - I have always, always wanted to go to Alcatraz and can honestly say it was well worth the wait. I will start off by telling you to buy your tickets well in advance. Like the very minute you get to San Francisco. This tour sells out almost immediately...

Atkins Approved Pizza ....

Thu, 5 Feb 2004 03:36:00 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Thorbjore - Pizza Hut is so accommodating. I ordered their "Atkins Pizza." They sent me a container full of greasy, rubbery, microwaved pepperoni's smothered in gobs of melted cheese. No sauce, of course, because tomatoes are bad for you! I greedily...

Sun, 27 Oct 2002 21:56:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Thorbjore - Boy, oh boy! This museum was fun indeed! But to write about it is much like writing a movie review. How much to I tell? What do I divulge? How much is too much?

Well, I shall try my best.

I'm Down With The Sickness

Tue, 12 Mar 2002 14:55:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Thorbjore - I must say I loved Disturbed immediately. The first time I heard the song Stupify, I was blown away. Mesmerized, I believe I tried to shake my radio's hand and whisper seductively, "Enchantez."

So What Does Disturbed Sound...

The Red Light District, Amsterdam: Where Red Lights Mean GO!

Mon, 25 Feb 2002 01:57:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Thorbjore - You can get to the Red Light District from any part of Amsterdam by taking the tram. The closest stop is Damrak (trams 4, 9, 16, 24, and 25 will do the trick). While you're on Damrak, make it a point to stop in the Sex Museum (Damrak 18) or you can go...

Thu, 24 Jan 2002 03:08:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Thorbjore - I can't think of ONE bad thing to say about this paper, except that Big Foot (the crossword puzzle) and the advertisements take up precious space that should be yielded to fabulous and HUMOROUS journalism.

I've been reading this newspaper for...

Thu, 10 Jan 2002 05:10:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Thorbjore - Hedgehogs can be wonderful, loving creatures who are interesting to watch, but there is SO much to consider before buying one (and they are SO cute and unique it's easy to buy one impulsively for oneself or for a gift).

First I will describe...
