Superb little music machine

Sun, 25 Sep 2005 17:08:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author canuck33 - While it's true, I do love electronic gadgets, my goal as of late has been to simplify, simplify, simplify. That meant consolidating gadgets, reducing duplication, and trying to own "things", as opposed to things owning me. Unfortunately, this little...

Holiday Inn Oshawa Ontario: Quite possibly, the worst service at the worst hotel. EVER.

Tue, 8 Feb 2005 00:07:48 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author canuck33 - Not so long ago, I had a nasty infection that ate all of the flesh off of my body. While staggering around screaming, I fell into a vat of vinegar. While climbing out of the vat, I accidentally dug bamboo splinters under my fingernails. That...

Induces severe giggle factor

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author canuck33 - So, I had built a home theater in my basement about a year ago, and when it came to buy the TV, I used points to buy a regular 32" TV, rather than shelling out $4000 for an HDTV. Hey, free beats not-free, especially when you go over budget on other...

Top dollar dishwasher, mediocre cleaning results

Wed, 7 Jan 2004 17:42:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author canuck33 - When our 10 year old GE dishwasher started making a lot of noise, the repairman told us it would be cheaper to replace it then repair it. That was until my wife told me we had to have stainless steel. OK, bit of a digression here. I had intended to...

Hilton Lac Leamy: My favourite hotel in the Ottawa/Gatineau area

Sun, 21 Sep 2003 17:46:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author canuck33 - I was completely sold on purchasing a comparable Rotel receiver, without even auditioning it, simply due to my past experience with Rotel. Until, that is, a clever (and arrogant) salesman persuaded me to audition the Arcam AVR200. This guy was at a t...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author canuck33 - Well, after 6 years with a low-end barbecue, in which the burner was so shot that I had to move food in and out of the flame (that licked through the cooking grill) so as to cook the food, I decided enough was enough. Time for a new one. I did quite a...
