Nokia 6360: The Cellular Solution for the Low Maintenance Man

Mon, 8 Sep 2003 11:34:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bassist695 - The 6360 was my first "real" cell phone, having used prepaid services with obsolete phones in the past. I got a really great deal on this phone which, in terms of features, was a bit better than a "middle-of-the-road" phone when I got it in Sept. 2002 at...

No Sophomore Slump Here

Fri, 21 Mar 2003 14:13:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bassist695 - Linkin Park's follow-up release to Hybrid Theory starts off with a great head-nodding song in "Don't Stay". I own the freshman effort, and while I like it, I tired of it quickly. I thought the album was overproduced, as though they tried...

A Royal Rental

Sun, 6 Jan 2002 19:42:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bassist695 - I hate nothing more than seeing really cool previews for a movie, with big-named actors, and great reviews to boot like "Best Movie of the Year" - then going to actually see the movie and finding out that you've been moderately mislead.

Forget the Riots---This is a Great School!

Sat, 31 Mar 2001 21:04:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bassist695 - OK, so for the next month or so, anytime anyone hears Penn State, they think of the overachieving basketball team, whose loss on their way to the Elite Eight triggered a 4,000+ student riot in "Beaver Canyon."

You Call Yourself a Hendrix Fan?? Buy This!

Wed, 21 Feb 2001 18:57:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bassist695 - As someone who really only discovered the music of Jimi Hendrix only about 2 years ago, this boxed set is like discovering that there's more to a book than the cover.

After purchasing his Band of Gypsies CD a couple years ago, his style...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bassist695 - Ever really want pizza, but you're sick of plain cheese, even though it is cheap? Ever in one of those pregnant woman moods where even the strangest-sounding pizza would feed your appetite? Well, if this is the case (ok maybe not...

Wed, 3 Jan 2001 18:56:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bassist695 - Ahh...the Big Apple...home to 8 million Americans, professional sports teams, and yes - mass transit. Thanks to my first non-school-sponsored excursion to the City, which occurred just two days after Christmas, I learned some very vital...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bassist695 - I'll be honest...I never really watched "Charlie's Angels" on TV, but I did have expectations for this movie that weren't exactly met...

Dean's List Should Mean More than a Number.

Sun, 24 Sep 2000 21:05:14 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bassist695 - I love Penn State, I really do. As a small-town CT boy, the size of this school really should overwhelm me, but it hasn't at all.

In fact, last semester (Spring 2000) I was fortunate enough to have made Dean's List here, which seems...

Get Used to Subway...

Fri, 22 Sep 2000 13:02:38 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bassist695 - As a freshman last year at Penn State, I didn't know quite what to expect when it came to the food. Of course, I figured if I'm paying $18,000 a year to go to this school, that the food should be far better than high school.

This came...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bassist695 - I actually joined Ignifuge because of an Epinion I had read awhile ago. I liked the idea of a "Home Page" since I never really had a useful one.

Fri, 25 Aug 2000 21:06:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bassist695 - Now, I'm a college student, and everywhere I can, I aim to cut corners wherever possible. Since water is an excellent drink to have in your fridge, along with whatever else fits your fancy, the Brita Space Saver Water Pitcher can most definitely...

The Birds Will Poop On You!

Fri, 4 Aug 2000 13:34:06 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bassist695 - I have distant memories of Alfred Hitchcock re-runs on TV when I was younger (in the illustrious '80s, mind you) and from what I recall, his stuff was generally highly chilling.

"The Birds" certainly doesn't fall short...

The Geico Duck is the Best Part

Wed, 26 Jul 2000 14:42:09 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bassist695 - I love Geico commercials. They're hilarious, and they serve the purpose - you don't forget their company's name, or their promise to save you 15% on auto insurance.

"15% compared to what?" is the question mark in...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bassist695 - If you watch TV, how can you avoid Progressive's commercials? Lately, all you see are Car Insurance companies offering free online rate quotes, and, hearing how much Progressive offered in terms of overall service such as:

WARNING: Wear a Helmet When Playing This!

Wed, 26 Jul 2000 12:29:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bassist695 - All true rock fans want is something that can satisfy their current mood, and maybe a little more. Meantime does just that, feeding what I will term an "energetic anger". All you feel is pure energy with the undertone of leadman...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bassist695 - Surely, the title says it all. When I visited this school back in February 1999, I instantly fell in love with this beautifully architectured campus, except for the all-too-friendly squirrels!

Wed, 19 Jul 2000 15:26:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bassist695 - Quite the frightening task, if you think about it. Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to operate a daily student newspaper to keep over 40,000 college students informed. You must keep it informative, compelling, and at the same...
