Monster’s Crawl

Tue, 12 Feb 2002 14:28:55 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author donovandobkins - I like movies. In fact, I love movies. I will watch anything once. I need to raise my standards.

First, I hate Hollywood for releasing a movie long enough to be considered for the Oscar and then sucking back in to build the suspense. I...

I love my 8500DV...almost

Tue, 12 Feb 2002 13:29:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author donovandobkins - The Radeon 8500DV is an unbelievable graphics card that does some incredible things. Once the bugs are worked out, it will be a showstopper.

The card includes FireWire ports, which would be great for integrating a digital camcorder or...

Suggest Products: Consider an Ethernet gateway.

Sun, 12 Aug 2001 12:00:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author donovandobkins - Consider a gateway in addition to the hub by 3Com. I look at both and preferred this extra capability. This opinion has been placed in this category because it is the closest product to 3Com's hub that I could find. I apologize for the inconvenience...

Slow and steady startles the crowd (no spoilers)

Sat, 11 Aug 2001 18:42:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author donovandobkins - Introduction

The Others is a very good movie that you need to be patient with. The movie is entertaining but it was not what I expected. I will not reveal the plot and please don’t spoil it for others that haven’t seen The Others. ;o)

I love my Sonicare toothbrush

Sat, 11 Aug 2001 18:11:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author donovandobkins - Introduction

I absolutely love my Sonicare Plus Model PL-3 Sonic Electric Toothbrush. I only wonder how gross my teeth were before I started using it.

The toothbrush is a little pricey, but will pay for itself once you get used to...

Computer speakers will never be the same.

Sat, 11 Aug 2001 15:56:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author donovandobkins - Introduction

I realized that these flat panel speakers would be pretty. When I received them, I unwrapped them and thought that they looked so cool that I really didn’t care what they sounded like. I’ve had my fair share of computer...

Time and money = great telephone system.

Sat, 11 Aug 2001 15:38:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author donovandobkins - Summary

Siemens has made a really impressive product. I have to admit that I loved technostuff. When I saw the Siemens, I wanted it immediately. When I saw the price tag, I waited a while before getting. I'm happy to have it, but it's...

Choke one of the best books that I have read (no spoilers)

Thu, 9 Aug 2001 21:30:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author donovandobkins - This is my favorite book by Chuck Palahniuk and one of my all time favorite books, period. I found this to the most satisfying book that I have read in a very long time. Now that I have read all of Mr. Palahniuk’s books to date, I can say that I...

The Wonderful World of Cleaning (no spoilers)

Thu, 9 Aug 2001 21:24:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author donovandobkins - I finished this book in one setting…after reading the last 20 pages three times. As with any book by Chuck Palahniuk, you should not let anyone spoil it for you. As a result, I will not relate any significant portion of the book. Do not read the back...

Fashionably monstrous (no spoilers)

Thu, 9 Aug 2001 21:17:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author donovandobkins - This one is a tougher read than the rest of the books by Chuck Palahniuk. I had devoured his other books before I read this book, but this book has a tougher premise that I will not spoil in this review. Notably, you are presented with a point in time...

You do talk about Fight Club (no spoilers)

Thu, 9 Aug 2001 21:11:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author donovandobkins - Mr. Durden, please forgive me. I am violating the first rule of fight club. The first rule of fight club is that you don’t talk about fight club. This review will not contain any significant spoilers, but I sincerely recommend that you just enjoy the...

SWA AOK

Thu, 9 Aug 2001 18:55:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author donovandobkins - Southwest Airlines represents a shining example of what airlines were meant to be: a cheap and efficient way to get from A to B safely. The other airlines have scoffed at Southwest Airlines for being cheap. I don’t see the downside here. I’ve flown...

Olympus should be proud of this camera

Thu, 9 Aug 2001 18:30:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author donovandobkins - As a preface, I am very much a beginner to photography. Olympus designed the C-2500L with the professional and advanced amateur in mind. I think that the camera is a bit overkill for the beginner, but could be very useful for the advanced amateur.

Dell Dimension 8100 Series: An intuitive and genuine improvement over the beige box

Tue, 26 Jun 2001 22:50:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author donovandobkins - I have had the good fortune to have several Dell computers. I get technolust every couple of years and the lure of a faster processor is just too much. In the past, I felt like the speed improvement was less noticeable and the rest became nothing more...

Nolo Patent It Yourself: An excellent primer before your first consultation

Thu, 21 Jun 2001 18:03:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author donovandobkins - As a preliminary matter, the concepts included in Patent It Yourself are wonderful building blocks for understanding the process. As Nolo attests, its book version is “the world's best selling patent book, recommended by patent attorneys, inventors,...

Raiding the PC for movie ideas

Thu, 21 Jun 2001 17:19:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author donovandobkins - Let me say that really enjoyed the movie and, of course, Lara Croft. I thought that the movie did the best job of porting over a game character that I have seen. Angelina Jolie is a wonderful actor that can play any role, especially a role of this...

Pearl Harbor Bombs

Thu, 21 Jun 2001 17:02:30 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author donovandobkins - Let me start by saying that after being bombarded with previews for this movie, I wanted this movie to be great. Movies with a historical basis deserve to be great.

I remember seeing the previews for months and wondering how could the...

I'll never watch Pan and Scan again :o)

Thu, 21 Jun 2001 13:44:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author donovandobkins - The 65907 is incredible. DVDs, especially using a progressive scan play, are beautiful. Regular cable content shows off artifacts (as to be expected) in the picture. Seriously, you should purchase this television if you are an early adopter for HDTV...
