Welcome Back

Thu, 6 Sep 2001 11:26:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author healdkw - In the movies when a film is the fourth in a series typically it has lost all of its quality. Many times the main star has changed due to contract disputes and everyone seems to be going through the motions of a flat, predictable story line. This also...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author healdkw - You know when you were a young kid and you really really wanted a widget for your birthday? Then, when you finally got that widget, it barely even worked and not even close to as advertised? Ok, ok, so maybe I was the only kid who wanted a widget for...

Samsung SCH 8500 CDMA / AMPS Cellular Phone: The "Other" Flip Phone

Mon, 23 Oct 2000 00:29:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author healdkw - It is funny really. People see me talking on this phone and immediately assume that I am talking on a Startac. Oh contraire! The 8500 is Samsung’s answer to the Startac. Flip phones are getting more and more popular because of their small size and...

Mon, 14 Aug 2000 12:30:50 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author healdkw - For the past two years I have been using Bell Atlantic (now Verizon) for my digital cellular service. The call quality has been good for the most part and I have been happy. However this summer my two-year contract was almost up and my phone was...

Priceline WebHouse Groceries Online Store: Lobster for $5!

Wed, 12 Jul 2000 15:32:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author healdkw - I have been hearing about Priceline Webhouse for months. I’ll be damned if I see or hear William Shatner hawk Priceline once more! Anyhow I had always written off the service thinking that it was more trouble then it was worth. It seemed like such a...

Oh So Close to Being Great

Fri, 7 Jul 2000 18:05:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author healdkw - Last week I was sitting around working on my website when I decided I needed to take a break. I looked around my computer to find something to play, but all I could find were games that were better played online (and I only have dial-up). So after...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author healdkw - I have been to a decent amount of amusement parks in the United States and I look forward to writing about all of them. I have been to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, but just recently I got the opportunity to try out Busch Gardens in Tampa. I just...

Make A Better Screwdriver

Tue, 16 May 2000 19:38:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author healdkw - Until recently I have been what one could call “dormant” on Epinions. I have been busy with my real job and I have been unable to really get back into the swing of things. Well today I decided that I needed to start contributing again to the...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author healdkw - Recently I have been in the hunt for a new pay for surf program. I currently use AllAdvantage and I have been pleased with it. I have been paid a total of $70+ for my time and I must say they have been very professional about it. However AllAdvantage...

NetZero: Great for Business Travelers

Mon, 3 Apr 2000 17:55:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author healdkw - Ok, I admit it, I am a bit of an internet snob. Since I have been on the Internet for a long time now I scoff at new technologies and deals. Heck, whenever someone even mentions the three letters “AOL” together I feel the need berate the person...

Warm-up for a Real Mountain

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author healdkw - Being that I live here in Washington D.C. my skiing options are somewhat limited. However the limit is more quality than quantity. Within two hours of D.C. are three significant ski mountains: Whitetail, Roundtop, and Liberty. Three weekends ago I...

Great Player, But a Little Pricey

Mon, 28 Feb 2000 22:29:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author healdkw - Recently I went on an all out spending spree for new toys. I am a bit of a toy freak and I have been eyeing a DVD player for sometime now. I have been some research all over the web (and of course here as well) to find out what the best product was...

You're a Fool If You Don't See This

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author healdkw - I am a big fan of the big Hollywood action movie. They are great fun to watch and sound especially great on my new home theater system. However, I am also a movie fan in general and can definitely appreciate a well-acted and directed film.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author healdkw - Now that I am in the working world I have had the opportunity to travel on several different airlines. More often than not much of my travel experience has been dependent on the airport. However, USAir seems to be one of the few airlines that...

Stop Playing in Your Beer!

Fri, 28 Jan 2000 18:13:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author healdkw - I had my first Boddington’s about a year ago at a local bar here in DC called the Common Share (and yes I reviewed it). For two bucks a pint I was willing to try every different brew at the bar (and most likely did that night). A buddy of mine...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author healdkw - I remember back in the day playing Dungeons and Dragons with all of my friends. We would try to follow the rules, and have even more fun breaking them. Every since then I have always been a big fan of computer role-playing games. However, I have found...

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 17:28:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author healdkw - For a long time now I have been wanting to get a backpack that I can use for many different uses. During the summer I need a pack that I can use for hiking as well as biking. It needs to hold enough stuff that I don’t need to rely on anyone else to...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author healdkw - Here in the United States we are deprived of the real futbol. Don’t get me wrong, I am huge American football fan (and yes I subscribe to NFL Sunday Ticket). But my first love will always be European football, or what we here in America call...

Classy Design...But Will It Last?

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 13:20:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author healdkw - I actually bought this ball from the epinion of JohnnieRico. I was looking for a good basic ball that I could use for mostly training purposes. I just wanted a nice soccer ball that would hold up to abuse. Also, I am a tad bit of an Adidas freak...

Perfection

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 03:06:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author healdkw - Is there anything like going to a baseball game on a warm Saturday afternoon? Letting the sun warm your face and shoulders as you watch your team, hell any team, play the American pastime. Basking in the tradition of a game that has been played for...

Car Shaver

Mon, 10 Jan 2000 18:13:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author healdkw - Electric razors still are not quite up to snuff to a real shave with a razor and shaving cream. Sure, at first you might think you have a gotten a close shave. However after a half day you will notice how quickly you get stubble. But electric razors...

Mon, 10 Jan 2000 14:12:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author healdkw - I have been looking into getting a grill for a couple of months now. The real question in my mind was between gas and charcoal based grills. They certainly have both their advantages and disadvantages (perhaps there should be a discussion topic on...

Tue, 4 Jan 2000 16:45:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author healdkw - I always enjoy going to a new location in the U.S. Not only do you get to see new sights and meet interesting people, but you get to taste great beer as well. I have a friend who currently resides in Colorado (Breckenridge to be exact) and last winter...
