A Not So Shabby Chevy

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 13:33:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - One of the best ways to test drive a car is to rent one for a few days. Better still is to rent one for a few weeks. That's exactly what I was able to do with the new 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt. Now I can't say it's the best car I've ever driven; but is it a...

Cool As, and Cool Off a Cucumber with the Whirlpool Gold Bottom-Mount Refrigerator

Fri, 13 Jun 2008 01:11:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - Remodeling a kitchen isn't easy. But the fun part is that you get to choose new appliances! Wait... did I say 'fun'??? Maybe for my wife it is. She just gives the order, and 2 to 3 weeks later she has all new appliances. Easy! She just says "They...

Canon PowerShot Digital Elph SD 1100 IS: Improving The Nearly Perfect

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 18:07:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - Granted, my wife and I are not expert photographers. We're not tracking lions in the Serengeti, or trying to re-create the works of Ansel Adams in color. But we do love good pictures, and if a picture is worth 1000 words, it might as well be a decent...

Monster Smash, then Monster Crash ...or... How to Multiply by 2

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 13:02:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - 'You should drink less coffee' my wife says. So the search for coffee alternatives has been going on for a little while now. I suppose I could cut out caffeine in general, but where's the fun in that? I'd have to go to bed early (how absurd!) and risk...

Is All-In-One Too Good to Be True? Yes, Yes It Is.

Thu, 29 May 2008 12:30:32 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - Some Reviewers say They like it Some folks give this Crest Pro Health toothpaste decent reviews, but I respectfully disagree. Now, maybe my case is extreme, but is it worth taking the chance? Read on, and you'll see what I mean. To me, the...

In Search of Tooth Self Defense

Sun, 10 Feb 2008 18:00:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - Do you cringe thinking about biting into ice cream? Does the mere thought of chewing an ice cube send shivers down your spine? Or how about this: you're walking out of Starbucks with a cup of super hot Venti-whatever. You take a big sip, and suddenly...

A Nice Break from The Over-caffeinated State that is My Life

Sun, 10 Feb 2008 16:32:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - When you're as big a coffee lover as I am (and equally a fan of caffeine in general), and you mix that preference with a touch of workaholism, you tend to forget how nice it is to slow down and smell the tea leaves once in a while. It's easy to forget...

Not Quite Cloud 9 With 9

Sun, 3 Feb 2008 19:32:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - When I first hear a song like '9 Crimes' by Damien Rice, a song that's beautifully melodic, simple, and sincere, I really get sucked in. Especially when I'm new to the artist who's performing the song. I try to learn what I can about the musician or...

Blecch!!! When Bean Counters Count Coffee... Beans

Tue, 29 Jan 2008 02:16:13 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - The Road to You-Know-Where Is Paved with Royal Cup Coffee Coffee is one of the few 'perks' many employers like to provide. Of course it's not purely benevolence. I remember reading a study somewhere that seemed to prove workplace efficiency...

Fast and Easy, One Touch USB External HDD Storage

Sat, 26 Jan 2008 02:30:09 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - Wow hard disk storage is getting cheap. For less than the price of an espresso maker, you can get enough disk space to back up your computer, your friends computer, your neighbors data, and probably still have plenty of room for more. That is of course...

Is There Truth In: 'If It Tastes Bad, It Must Be Good for You'?

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 21:46:27 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - Fenu-what? From the Latin term meaning 'greek hay', funugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) seed is apparently used in India as some kind of flavoring mix for yogurt, and as a hair conditioner. It's also purported to be used in Ethiopia as a...

Like HD? Then Live HD with PS3

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 20:58:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - (Updated with additional information Feb. 11 2008) At the beginning of this review is a short story of how I got my Playstation 3. Feel free to skip right to the review under "The Review" if you'd like... Part 1: The Whim After a long...

Very Effective for Moderate Heartburn

Sun, 13 Jan 2008 18:30:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - I refuse to allow moderate heartburn to stop me from drinking my beloved coffee. While everyone says coffee causes mild heartburn, really, what do my doctor, my wife, my mother, my father, my grandmother, my friends... what do they know? They...

Inn Residence, or Brief Trip, A Nice Place All Around

Fri, 11 Jan 2008 12:00:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - With only a couple days notice for an upcoming meeting in Maryland, I quickly matched my travel itinerary from Florida with that of a colleague. Normally, that's taking a gamble, but in this case, it was a pleasant surprise. He booked at the Residence...

Pure Fun: A Category 5 Motorstorm!

Wed, 2 Jan 2008 20:34:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - Going the Distance It was an overcast, rainy day. I sped along the muddy pass in my four-wheel drive; the canyon walls whisked by me. Turn after turn, faster I went. Sliding through the curves, hoping my tires would keep some grip. Left,...

Obtaining The Proper REACTION

Tue, 27 Nov 2007 13:16:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - When my beautiful wife gets an idea in her head, she goes with it. In this case, the idea was to make me smell better! At least, that's what I must assume since she came home with two colognes for me a few weeks ago. One of the colognes, which...

A Perfect Bit of Burberry Brit

Thu, 22 Nov 2007 01:39:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - Before I met my wife, cologne to me was just what some men bathed in to remind you of their greatness. Sure, I had some cheap stuff myself that I used on special occasions (it was so cheap, it didn't remind anyone of my greatness), but beyond a strong...

Double-Shot (to) The Heart, And You’re To Blame

Sat, 17 Nov 2007 00:18:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - In the immortal words of John Bon Jovi: "Shot through the heart, and you're to blame, darling, you give love, a bad name (bad name)". Lets pretend that the 'shot' here is not a bullet from a gun, but liquid bullets from a can – caffeine. And that...

Power Packed Pellets with Perfect Punch

Fri, 16 Nov 2007 02:40:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - I love coffee. However my wife does not love that I love coffee. Especially when in close quarters. She also points out that probably others do not appreciate my coffee drinking either when I talk to them... closely. Personally,...

Cuts Like A Pocket Knife

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 01:32:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - Growing up as the son of a good southern boy (and a northern mother -it was interesting), my father told me that all men should carry a pocket knife. After teaching me the rules of knife safety, he gave me my first little dull play knife at probably 9...

Some Serious 'Go' In Your H2O

Tue, 6 Nov 2007 20:32:46 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - Yes, this 'Fruit2O Energy' bottled water definitely has caffeine in it. How can you tell? Take a sip. Like a good swift kick in the taste buds, the caffeine flavor in this beverage becomes immediately apparent. With this drink, do not expect some...

A Fallen Idol Who Rocks Pop

Tue, 6 Nov 2007 03:57:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - So I'm almost exactly a year late on this review. The truth is, it took me this long to take seriously Chris Daughtry's album and actually listen to it (which I got with Kelly Clarkson's latest album '
My
December')...

A Good Cleaner That's Thankfully 'Opti' Free (Whatever That Means)

Sun, 4 Nov 2007 19:16:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - As a soft contact lens wearer for more than 15 years, I had been an avid fan of Bausch & Lomb's Renu contact lens cleaning solution for most of that time. However in 2006, I decided I probably wasn't a fan of Fusarium (fungal) keratitus, for which Renu...

Wanted: Great Songs for Colorful, Dynamic Singer

Fri, 2 Nov 2007 22:07:45 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - Great Expectations In movies they say you're only as good as your last picture. That may or may not be true for music, and hopefully it's not true for Kelly Clarkson. However, from her album 'My December', that's one of the thoughts that came...

If certain songs had a choice, they would want Kelly Joe Phelps to sing them

Mon, 29 Oct 2007 01:03:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author customeright - Tears of Joy ‘While my guitar gently weeps’ was a great tune written by George Harrison, and the melody has nothing to do with this review. It isn’t a bluesy song, it’s not really folk, and isn’t too similar to anything on...
