Ole's: An inside joke, or just a blight on the Alameda restaurant scene?

Thu, 15 May 2003 17:34:13 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author alamedasims - I'll come right out and say it: Ole's sucks. Yes, sucks. It is, in my opinion, a joke of a diner, stuck in the 50's with 1960's notions of culinary quality. You remember food in the 60's, don't you? You know: Tang, and Hamburger...

Newegg.com: Newegg: The Best Computer Hardware Store on the Internet.

Wed, 11 Dec 2002 17:30:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author alamedasims - Newegg.com is the best computer hardware store on the internet, as long as you know what you're doing. I've built two complete systems from scratch this year using nothing but Newegg parts. I have also ordered various case mod parts, a monitor, and...

Mon, 17 Jun 2002 17:56:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author alamedasims - So I first got a PDA in order to help save my marriage.

Huh? you probably are asking yourself.

It's true. You see, I am a master of disorganization when it comes to my personal life. Like a lot of guys, I don't pay...

Thu, 13 Jun 2002 15:56:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author alamedasims - [Note: This review is for the Senior League (8 oz. Drop) version of the Worth 3DX. I am placing it here because epinions hasn’t added that version to its product index yet.]

There’s no way anyone should spend the kind of money being...

The New "Best PDA for Business" (For Now) UPDATED 7/25/02

Wed, 29 May 2002 17:23:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author alamedasims - The Sony Clie PEG-T615C takes over from Sony's PEG-N610C as the best PDA for business, but not without some caveats.

The T615C is an improvement on the N610C in several respects. First, the form factor is even smaller and...

Easton Triple 7: A Hot Bat (While It Lasts)

Fri, 19 Apr 2002 15:57:02 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author alamedasims - My son moved up from Little League (8-12) to Babe Ruth League (13-15) this year. The change to a full-size field, 60 foot 6 inch pitching distance, and lead-offs and pick-offs present a welcome challenge for him and his fellow ex-Little Leaguers. What...

Wilson A2000 Baseball Glove--Still Worthy of Its Reputation?

Mon, 4 Feb 2002 20:17:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author alamedasims - My dad bought me a Wilson A2000XL for my 14-year-old campaign in American Legion ball. The glove was heavyweight full-grain steerhide and had the same "dual-hinge web" that you see today on several A2000 models. It came stiff and unoiled, and it...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author alamedasims - So here's the lowdown on the '97 Z3 2.8 by someone who actually uses the car as his daily driver....

The car is not for everyone. It's a roadster, fer chrissake. People who can't stand sweating on hot summer days with the top down shouldn't...

Sony Clie PEG-T415: Dim screen ruins an otherwise great Palm-powered PDA.

Tue, 8 Jan 2002 22:37:49 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author alamedasims - The Clie T415 would have rated 4 or 5 stars if not for its extremely dim screen. It has the latest Palm OS operating system. It is stylish and thin. It is also nearly illegible.

I bought the T415 direct from SonyStyle and used it for 3...

Sony Clie PEG N610-C: (Formerly) The Best Palm-powered PDA for Business. UPDATED 3/1/02

Mon, 7 Jan 2002 23:36:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author alamedasims - I spent months deciding which PDA to get. I wanted to see the second-gen Pocket PCs before I did anything.

Ultimately it came down to reliability, bells & whistles, and cost. I'm the first to admit I love gadgets. So I was mightily tempted by...

Sprint Mobile Phone Service in San Francisco/San Jose/Oakland: Not free, not clear, and not my provider any more.

Mon, 7 Jan 2002 22:59:44 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author alamedasims - I fell for Sprint's sexy voice-activated Samsung SCH8500 flip-phone and cancelled my satisfactory four-year relationship with Cellular One (now AT&T). Cellular One was far from perfect (probably 3 stars out of 5), but had I...
