My favorite EP of this decade

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 21:00:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author benpatient - I like EPs a lot as a format. Don't get me wrong, a well-executed album can't be beat, but with an EP—a really good one, anyway—you can find perfection. Such is this release. I saw the Avett Brothers a few months after The Gleam was released...

My most important lens

Wed, 21 Nov 2007 14:49:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author benpatient - We purchased a Digital Rebel back in early 2004 to try and stave off our desires to get back into a darkroom and spend lots of money on film and chemicals. It did the trick for the most part, but I couldn't help missing my old 50/1.8 lens that I used...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author benpatient - I attempted to purchase a Panasonic TH-50PHD8UK this week, which was "In Stock" according to the PriceMad.com website. I became concerned after reading a reviewer's comment that they shipped the screen without the factory-standard input blades, and then...

Infinity Micro: Why pay more? Because other companies actually ship their products sometimes...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author benpatient - My boss ordered over 3600 dollars worth of computer hardware from i-m.c last tuesday. It's been one week to the day, and the order still says "in progress" and there is no tracking or further information available. We are unable to get anyone to pick up...

SimCity 4 For Windows: It's different, not impossible.

Thu, 11 Dec 2003 15:36:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author benpatient - I loved SimCity. It created (and set the standard for) city-building simulations. I loved SimCity 2000. It added a level of complexity and scope that was welcome and engaging. They were both excellent games, and they represented the old Maxis very, very...

A solid choice

Thu, 4 Dec 2003 15:16:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author benpatient - The Standard I work in an office full of iPod lovers. They all play with their iPods all the time, and use them to excercise with, drive around town with, and go on long trips with. It's a cool little machine, and it's attractive physically. The...

Possibly the best consumer MB ever built for AMD chips

Tue, 5 Aug 2003 14:30:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author benpatient - I recently built a couple of computers, one for myself, and another for a friend. Spending a lot...

2003 Mitsubishi Outlander: Not very impressed

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author benpatient - I recently had the opportunity to drive a '03 Outlander rental vehicle for a couple of days. I will...

A cheap player that doesn't act or feel cheap

Fri, 6 Jun 2003 13:44:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author benpatient - I love DVDs. I love the fact that this one format encompasses so many different uses. Movies, games, music, TV shows, basically whatever you want. I've had a rather cheap (very cheap) APEX DVD player for a while now. It had a digital audio output, and an...

Oh me, oh my indeed...

Fri, 31 Jan 2003 20:50:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author benpatient - This debut album was recorded without the intention of being a debut album, or so the artist, Devendra Banhart, claims. While there can be no doubt that the recordings themselves were originally captured on handheld recorders and answering machines, the...

A promising start...

Tue, 28 Jan 2003 21:08:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author benpatient - Hot Action Cop is a young, trashy band. Their songs are almost exclusively about sex, and those that aren't seem to bend that way anyway, almost in the same way that Tenacious D songs always end up being about sex.

But they are so catchy, you...

Chasing Stardom

Tue, 28 Jan 2003 19:24:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author benpatient - Sister Hazel has been around for a long time. Well, in the world of pop bands anyway. They were picked up by a major label for their 94 release Somewhere More Familiar which is actually their second album. Therefore, Chasing Daylight is...

Saturn's New Baby

Mon, 18 Nov 2002 23:04:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author benpatient - I'm not one to go around and test-drive dozens of cars, but I did so over the last few months because I was finally in the market.

I'm young, male, and recently done with college. I'm driving a car nearly as old as I am. Time for a...

Pullman needed more books

Thu, 10 Oct 2002 18:07:00 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author benpatient - I read the Golden Compass and the Subtle Knife again right before the release of this final chapter in the His Dark Materials trilogy as preparation.

I found the first two most enjoyable and eagerly awaited the conclusion to our young hero...

Great deal

Thu, 3 Oct 2002 15:33:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author benpatient - This receiver is currently only available in the retail world through a bundle product that includes a 5 piece 100 watt/speaker set of surrounds and an 8'' 100 watt powered sub. All Kenwood products. There are so many connections and audio-video hookup...

Killer value

Wed, 2 Oct 2002 19:31:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author benpatient - I bought this changer to compliment my Kenwood VR-409 DTS/DD 5.1 receiver system after discovering that my DVD player was NOT an acceptable CD player to boot. This little monster most definitely IS a CD player.

I'm using a ToSLink digital...
