Little Blue Cutie - But Not Polished Enough

Wed, 10 Dec 2008 18:09:20 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author americanbear - What's this little thing?Today, I'm reviewing the Asus EeePC 2G Surf. This little blue "netbook" computer is an early model, but they're still widely sold on eBay and the like. I just got about $175 for mine. Yeah, I sold it off, that...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author americanbear - Introduction I am a former Sirius satellite radio subscriber who spent a lot of money on equipment only to be very disappointed that they played the same songs over and over and over again. With that said, I liked the general concept - so this...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author americanbear - Introduction I bought this Olympus Stylus 850SW because I was looking a small camera that I could take to the lake - and even in it if I wanted. A camera that I could take out in the rain without worrying. A camera that I could hand to my...

Adorama Online Store: Great service, photo quality, selection, and pricing!

Fri, 1 Aug 2008 00:21:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author americanbear - A wonderful experience all-around Adorama is one of the two big, Jewish-owned (more on why that matters later), camera stores in New York City. I generally prefer shopping from B&H as they're usually a hair friendlier, but Adorama is great too...

A small inkjet with big quality!

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 16:42:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author americanbear - An Introduction After seeing another face painter with one, I knew I wanted a small photo printer for my face painting business. See, you can take a photo printer to events and use it as an "upsell" - $3 for a 4x6 photo is what I charge...

A great small (though not really pocket) digicam

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 15:16:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author americanbear - An introduction I am an amateur photographer who loves my Canon EOS Rebel XT. Still, early last year I decided that a small portable digicam (I now own two) was worth the money. I first bought a Samsung that was DOA, so I returned it for the...

Nice product, horrible packaging

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:43:24 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author americanbear - An Introduction Wow, who would expect me to be able to write a review on glitter? Sure, I've
done it before, but that was craft glitter - not a cosmetic product. Don't you...

Paradise - smooth, creamy, delicious smelling face painting goodness!

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 02:03:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author americanbear - Note that this is a review of the Mehron Paradise product- NOT Costumes4less. I've never even heard of them before Some background about me I have decided today to start my reviews of face painting makeup products. I am a fairly new...

The Many Cellular Ones... Cellular One of Montana (MTPCS)

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 02:02:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author americanbear - A quick history In the early days of cellular telephones, there were only two bands - which meant there could only be two carriers in each area - A and B. The "B-side" spectrum was given to all the local phone companies. The A-side was...

Snazaroo, Be Who You Want To Be

Sat, 8 Dec 2007 20:03:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author americanbear - Face Painting Background Face painting is many thing, but what do you think of when you think of face painting? Far too many people think of somebody using craft paints to paint bad designs on kids' cheeks quickly for money. This is...

Decorate Yourself and Have A Blast Doing It!

Mon, 10 Sep 2007 05:01:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author americanbear - Decorate yourself for fun and games... They say not to judge a book by it's cover. Decorate yourself is the perfect example. If you look at the cover, you'll expect a book of simple face painting and henna designs. It's childish and it says...

DVP3960 - A cheap beauty!

Wed, 25 Jul 2007 01:24:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author americanbear - Philips, an iffy history with me in DVD players I've always liked Philips products in many categories (especially their light bulbs, which I think are by far the best on the market, and back in the day that portable CD players were the thing to...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author americanbear - Explore new worlds, see new vistas, and experience new adventures This unit is Garmin's high-end handheld GPS receiver. I'll start by saying that I do regret buying it and that I wish I had bought one of the Magellan units instead. However that...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author americanbear - An introduction To start off with, as a disclaimer, I do not own this car. I took one on a test drive. Rarely would I review a product I don't own (I'm probably going to review the Honda Fit soon because that's what I think I'll be buying) but...

Zenni Optical Online Store: Not the best quality, cheap materials, one lens had a significant scratch

Sat, 14 Oct 2006 01:20:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author americanbear - If it sounds too good to be true, it *probably* is... Fortunately, every now and again we come across something in life that, though it sounds far too good, is the real deal! Enter Zenni Optical, glasses we can all actually afford! For about...

An Oasis of Comfort and Crystal-Clear Vision!

Sat, 7 Oct 2006 01:42:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author americanbear - Standard Disclaimer It's REALLY hard to review contact lenses. It's not just about the lens. It's about the lens and your body. It's about polymer. But it's also about edge design, optical zone, etc. It's about biocompatibility. It's about YOU...

My life... Online

Sat, 7 Oct 2006 00:43:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author americanbear - Another reception update I have confirmed my findings that Wi-Fi reception on the mylo is rather poor, which is a real shame. It's also something Sony acknowledges in the fine print - the specs for the unit claim a range of "10-30m", with even...

O2Optix - There may be better choices for you

Sat, 30 Sep 2006 16:25:43 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author americanbear - A difficult topic to review Allow me to preface this review by noting that contact lenses are a VERY difficult product to "review," per se, as one's lens experience in not merely a product of the lens but of how the lens interacts with your...

Very useful little gadget!

Sat, 30 Sep 2006 02:30:11 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author americanbear - Update!!! As an update, I have decided to return this item. Why? While I thought my monitor calibrations were beautiful other than on my iBook, I started looking at some prints from calibrated labs using ICC profiling. I looked at prints from...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author americanbear - Long long ago, in a galaxy far, far away... *Note - this is not the full story, and some elements of it are greatly simplified. It's merely a basic idea of how we got to where we are today... waiting sooo long for "cool" CDMA phones* Digital...

Come and Get Your Love!

Sat, 15 Apr 2006 00:26:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author americanbear - Huh? It's Alltel's newest marketing slogan - "come and get your love" So I decided to. And since this review's primarily meant to be about customer service, if that's all you're hear to read about - I'll cut to the chase - it's very good. More...
