Heated Floor Mat: Keep your feet warm in those chilly offices!

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 17:12:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author graphics_guy - Heated Floor Mat: I work at a computer all day, sitting at a desk. They tend to keep the office way too chilly, in both the summer and the winter, and my feet are somewhat cold-natured anyway. I put this foot-warmer under my desk, and...

Mitchum Unscented Gel is not Unscented!

Sat, 26 Jul 2008 14:23:18 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author graphics_guy - I'll keep this short & sweet... I bought some of this Mitchum Unscented Gel (anti-perspirant & deodorant), and it is definitely *not* unscented. It has a "musky" scent, and this scent triggered my allergies (sinus), which made...

Convenient and effective GPS power & speaker, but breakable!

Mon, 22 Jan 2007 01:15:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author graphics_guy - I own a Garmin 2610 GPS, so I have firsthand knowledge of this cable... This is the cable that comes with many of the recent Garmin GPS navigation units (such as models 26xx, 27xx, and 28xx). It lets you plug the unit into the cigarette lighter, and...

Sony F717: Free recall/repair offer expired Oct 2, 2007 !!!

Sun, 18 Jun 2006 00:54:12 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author graphics_guy - This is a pretty great camera! (except for the CCD failure/recall)... This was my first digital camera. I didn't much like film cameras - I guess because I'm too "cheap" to buy film & get it developed. I also hated waiting until I took a whole...

F250 Luxury Truck, with all the Toys...

Thu, 1 Jun 2006 22:07:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author graphics_guy - I've had my truck for about 1.5 years now. The previous owner turned it into a "pimped out" luxury truck, with every toy known to man, and I thought I'd let people know how that worked out... My truck is a 2000 F250 4-door 4x4...

Leap-of-Faith Soundtrack: Contains "Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat"

Wed, 31 May 2006 20:35:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author graphics_guy - I got this song specifically for Don Henley's song "Sit Down You're Rockin The Boat". You might remember hearing this song back when the movie was popular (early 1990's?). It's a very good/likeable song, and got pretty good airplay. But I have...

Tidalforce Electric Bike: Great idea, but bad/unstable/immature technology

Wed, 17 May 2006 21:34:02 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author graphics_guy - I first saw these Tidalforce electric bikes on the TV program "Life In the Fast Lane" (hosted by Steve Natt). They seemed like so much fun, and such a great idea that I had to get one... You let it charge 4-6 hours, and the bike has a range of...

Fellowes Shredder: decent/minimal shredder, if on a budget & tight on space.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author graphics_guy - I wanted a shredder to safely get rid of unwanted "personalized" junk mail, credit card offers, credit card "checks", pre-authorized cellphone offers, enron statements, etc, etc, etc... I really only had a handful of documents needing shredded, so I...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author graphics_guy - I spend a lot of time outdoors, and unfortunately I seem to attract mosquitos... And when they bite, it quickly turns into a hot itchy welt. This "sting eze" stops the itching & swelling within minutes! It's truly a miracle liquid (and I don't say...

Great CDR's, and usually on sale!

Mon, 17 Apr 2006 19:29:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author graphics_guy - I'm currently going through my 3rd package of these CDR's, and the fact that I've stuck with the same brand 3 times in a row says volumes! :) I've used these for both audio/music cd's, and also for making data cd's -- I've never had an error or other...

Decent cd duplicator, but somewhat "over-hyped"

Tue, 28 Feb 2006 00:27:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author graphics_guy - I'm an avid music-lover, and have about 1000+ store-bought cd's at home. I like to make my own "greatest-hit" cd's, which I use in my car(s) cd changers, and when I'm out DJ'ing car shows & such. My dinky ancient laptop pc has a very slow cd burner (4x...

American DJ Uv Cannon 400 Watt Blacklight System: UV Canon: Lotsa black light, but 5+ minutes to warmup!

Mon, 4 Jul 2005 16:15:30 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author graphics_guy - This UV light is advertised in many DJ magazines, but it didn't fit in well with the kind of DJing and light show that I do, so I was somewhat disappointed after paying $250 for this light... The one thing the ad's forget to mention is that this light...
