One remote to rule them all.....

Sat, 22 Oct 2005 15:02:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fuse - My first foray into the universal remote control world was the Kameleon 8 in 1 universal remote. Pretty cool concept, but if you had a cable box DVR (in other words, an integrated tuner/PVR type solution), the Kameleon fell short. Don't get me wrong, the...

Linksys (WRT54GS) Router: WRT54GS won't leave you black and blue

Sun, 12 Dec 2004 17:13:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fuse - If you take a look at my profile, you'll see I've been a longtime advocate of Netgear products. This has recently changed, and Linksys is now my hardware provider of choice for home networking. A strange thing happened last week. My Netgear MR814...

Thu, 20 Feb 2003 19:31:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fuse - If you've read my review of the Netgear RT311, you know I am a big Netgear fan.

I write this review with somewhat of a heavy heart. Besides best in class functionality and stability, Netgear had...

Clawed? Claude!

Wed, 25 Sep 2002 18:24:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fuse - The entire concept of Rescue Hero action figures is pretty cool, and timely. In the day and age where kids turn to more and more violent toys and games, Rescue Heroes is a definite breath of fresh air. I especially like the good sense of humour that...

The Wail of the Siren

Tue, 24 Sep 2002 17:50:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fuse - This is the continuing saga of a father and his son with just too many Rescue Heroes.

When we introduced my son to Rescue Heroes at Christmas, we bought a few of the available figures (I think there were only about ten Rescue Heroes at the...

Kenny Ride? Not Really

Tue, 24 Sep 2002 17:30:36 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author fuse - I'm starting to believe that my son has one of the world's largest collections of Rescue Heroes thanks to his grandmother. The latest to arrive was one I had never even heard of, Kenny Ride.

I am a big fan of the Rescue Heroes toys and will be...

Rescue Hero Jet not up to spec

Mon, 23 Sep 2002 11:08:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fuse -

My son has had the Rescue Hero Voice Tech jet for almost two years. The jet was part of a grand experiment to wean him away from the Fisher Price Little People toys. The jet was a big hit. An even bigger hit was the included Billy Blazes action...

Eight is a Magic Number

Wed, 21 Aug 2002 17:19:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fuse - I've put off reading Terry Pratchett for quite a long time. I have many British friends whose email signatures are littered with hilarious excerpts from Pratchett's books. I was always more of a serious science fiction/ fantasy reader, and wasn't sure I...

Canon BJC S600 Inkjet Printer: Colour! Glorious Colour!

Fri, 16 Aug 2002 10:13:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fuse - Plug in the USB cable and go!

I replaced a very old HP DeskJet 660C with the Canon S600. This decision came down to price/performance- the S400 was substantially cheaper (and the print quality showed), and the S800 was substantially more...

First Scanner a Hit!

Fri, 16 Aug 2002 10:00:06 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fuse - My old HP inkjet printer finally died, and that coincided with a gift certificate to Best Buy for $250 from a credit card company reward program.

I had seriously thought about getting an all in one inkjet from HP, until I went to Best Buy and...

Swoosh! There it is!

Fri, 16 Aug 2002 09:32:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fuse - If anyone has read my review on FootJoy GreenJoys, you know I am a golf hack. I play for fun, and to improve. Normally, I go to WalMart (or if I forget, pay the premium at the pro shop) and buy the cheapest box of 12-18 balls I can find.

Trade Desktop Clutter for Virtual Desktop Clutter!

Tue, 30 Jul 2002 11:57:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fuse - I have a friend who literally lives his life with his shirt pocket filled with "little pieces of paper" with his notes and to do lists- anything he needs to remember goes on a small piece of paper (not necessarily even a post it note). Think George...

Incredible Wine Reference

Wed, 24 Jul 2002 13:09:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fuse - Want to learn about Italian Amarone, or Spanish tempranillo?

All this and much, much more is contained within the massive wine reference, Karen McNeil's Wine Bible.

The size is a little intimidating, but the text is very...

Screwpull Lever: Bottle to Glass in 6 Seconds!

Wed, 24 Jul 2002 12:47:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fuse - Well, maybe not that fast, but you get the idea. In the same vein as my review on the screwpull foil cutter, I wonder how I ever got along without my screwpull.

I used to use a sommelier/waiter style corkscrew. True, they are much cheaper, but...

Wed, 24 Jul 2002 12:04:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fuse - I received my screwpull foil cutter as part of a screwpull/foil cutter gift set.

First Pair of Golf Shoes

Fri, 19 Jul 2002 10:43:58 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fuse - I'm definitely the weekend warrior golfer. I'm still learning the game, and have played for a couple of years using tennis shoes or sneakers.

I don't play golf enough nor do I feel my game justifies the $120 pair of DryJoys, but FootJoy is...

Heaviest Car Seat ever!

Tue, 16 Jul 2002 17:31:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fuse - Our son has grown like a weed since day one. After he had outgrown the infant car carrier style seat, we did some research and found the Britax brand to have a stellar reputation. Three years later, the Britax Roundabout had to be retired since my now...

Good Headphones with "Street Style"

Fri, 12 Jul 2002 15:54:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fuse - A friend a work had the Sony MDR-G52LP headphones and he let me take a listen. When I went to buy a pair, they were out of stock of the MDR-G52LPs, but they had the MDR-G63LPs in stock.

While they may not be Sennheiser or Grado quality...

NetGear RT-311 Gateway Router: Quality Router

Thu, 11 Jul 2002 18:25:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fuse - I'm a big NetGear fan. While everyone else in the home networking space is going for cheaper, plastic, built for the moment networking equipment, NetGear is building with steel stamped chassis that indicate quality.

It took me all of 15...

Tue, 9 Jul 2002 16:53:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fuse -

This is a review of the JBL S-36AW, the all weather version of the S-36 speaker.

I was looking for a pair of outdoor speakers on a limited budget, and got way more than I expected.

Initially, I looked at speakers in the...
