The Dish is the family dish

Sun, 24 Jun 2001 04:29:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author herrcool - Last week I went to the cinema and saw a very good film. Very good, it was, but not excellent. The Dish is from the makers of The Castle, and there are many parallels, in fact, the film uses the same tactics to make the audience laugh.

Mini-Stampers are Maxi-Fun!

Sun, 22 Apr 2001 03:01:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author herrcool - What are Crayola Mini-Stampers? They look just like ordinary markers, but instead of a tip at the end have a design, a 'stamp'.

They are very small, but they are great for doing borders. By borders I mean a frame around the page. When I was at...

A sandwich should be...not expensive

Sat, 14 Apr 2001 07:37:39 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author herrcool - I don't know if the title makes sense to you in the U.S.A, but here in New Zealand it is the sandwich king's little 'ditty' - a motto.

Subway is very expensive here. And people patronize it accordingly. McDonalds is completely full during the...

AdSubtract SE: An A+ for AdSubtract SE

Fri, 13 Apr 2001 19:46:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author herrcool - I have used a banner ad blocker for over a year now. The one I used for most of the time was AdsOff. I thought it was great. No more ads. And it was good. But then I found something better, and more fun - AdSubtract SE.

Why do I say more fun?...

Micro: The lightest and fastest

Thu, 12 Apr 2001 23:46:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author herrcool - Okay. I admit it. I'm a scooter fanatic! The new generation of fold-up scooters are just so good. They are light, fast and more importantly 'hip'!Here's an extensive review, detailing the features and capabilities of the Micro...

Almost...almost... CRASH!!!

Wed, 11 Apr 2001 07:36:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author herrcool - I've played Jenga for years as a game. It's not a new game at all. It's a reasonably fun game, and definitely different.

Jenga is a game for two or more players. Jenga is a tower of wooden rods stacked on top of each other. The object of the...

Thehungersite.com: Feed the hungry without paying a bean (the sponsors pay for the beans!)

Tue, 10 Apr 2001 04:10:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author herrcool - The reason I normally write epinions is not to help people make buying decisions yada yada yada, but to make money. But I really am writing this epinion not for the money. I want lots of people to read it, not because I'll get money for each time they do...

Fine Gardening is the finest garden magazine

Tue, 10 Apr 2001 02:12:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author herrcool - For a New Zealand gardener the only 'con' about this magazine is the information on plant damage caused by deer and burrowing animals which is mainly irrelevant to us.

The photography is superb. The articles are very informative and often...

A New Zealander's guide to New Zealand

Fri, 6 Apr 2001 19:51:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author herrcool - As a New Zealander, I like to rave on about our beautiful country and have often been stopped from doing so. I have travelled extensively around my country, from Cape Reinga, the northern tip of the North Island to Stewart Island, below the South Island,...

Mrs. Doubtfire is hot!

Fri, 6 Apr 2001 05:42:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author herrcool - Mrs. Doubtfire may be perceived as a children's film, but I can assure you this is is not totally the case. While children may enjoy the movie, some of the humour is subtle, and may only be 'got' by adults.

I'll give you one example of the...

Great for a quick meal but don't expect to be 'filled up.'

Sun, 1 Apr 2001 02:16:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author herrcool - McDonald's is a very popular food in the young, middle aged - in fact in just about every age group. Their food is fast and very tasty, mainly due to the high fat content.

Their Big Mac consists of beef patties, which are unfortunately rather...

A real meal of a magazine

Sat, 31 Mar 2001 18:47:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author herrcool - Reader's Digest is my favourite magazine. It is really thick, and has a lot of reading in it.

The jokes and readers' little anecdotes are very funny. I like All in a Day's Work especially. Here's an example from a month or two ago:...

A computer magazine for experts, not dumbed down like others

Fri, 30 Mar 2001 22:14:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author herrcool - Here in my home country of New Zealand, PC World is the only local 'real' computer magazine. I say 'real' because there are other computer publications but they relate to the consumer internet market, and do not cater for the users who are slightly more...

Opera: Fast and simple

Thu, 29 Mar 2001 06:22:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author herrcool - I have been using Opera in its various versions over the last few years off and on and have been impressed. Its fast page rendering is very good.

You may have noticed I said 'off and on'. That is because I use Opera for a time, but I always go...

Microsoft Windows 98 SE: More and more a necessity

Thu, 29 Mar 2001 06:02:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author herrcool - Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition (SE) is becoming more and more a necessity for homes - and mainly because of Microsoft.

I'll discuss the OS itself a little later on, but first I think you should know that programmes made by Microsoft from...

Blue Mountain Arts eCards: eCard to Blue Mountain - Congratulations: you have a wonderful site!

Thu, 29 Mar 2001 02:19:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author herrcool - If you want to get in with the latest fad you've got to send an eCard. eCards are electronic greeting cards. You simply go to an eCard site (like Blue Mountain), select your picture, write your message and it's rushed by express e-mail delivery (sounds...

An overrated, boring movie

Thu, 29 Mar 2001 00:55:51 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author herrcool - After seeing The Perfect Storm I was very disappointed. The film was very boring, which was surprising to me as all the quotes from the 'know at alls' at the top of the ad for the film while it was playing in cinemas had said '***** The best movie...

Google: Consistently the best. I will never use Altavista again!

Wed, 28 Mar 2001 06:43:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author herrcool - Since first using the Google search engine early last year (2000) I have been impressed every time, by its speed, and accuracy of its results.

Google is very fast. It's homepage consists of a logo, a search field, and a few links relating to...

Sendmoreinfo.com: Great for earning cash, good pay rate, but not many e-mails

Wed, 28 Mar 2001 05:51:08 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author herrcool - Sendmoreinfo.com was my first 'get paid to receive e-mail' company. I joined because 5cents an e-mail sounded pretty good, and the 'get paid to surf' industry was going down in a big way with pay-rates.

Sendmoreinfo.com makes it easy to make...

Desktop Dollars: Desktop Dollars? What dollars?

Wed, 28 Mar 2001 03:29:20 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author herrcool - I used Desktop Dollars for a time last year (2000) and quite liked it - in fact. I liked the viewbar, the 'Profit Zone'. I used it for about a month, all the time, probably about 50-100 hours. What did I get paid? $5? $10? No, $0.12!

The worst...

Spedia: Spedia? Slowia! Crappia!!! - An extensive review of Spedia.

Sun, 25 Mar 2001 18:47:51 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author herrcool - When I first started out in the GPTS world, I thought I would try Spedia. $0.49 /hour seemed pretty good to me. I joined, and downloaded the ad bar. I surfed, lots, with the bar, probably 200 hrs, and all I got was about $6. That's hardly $0.49/hour...

I like Air NZ, but I would say that, wouldn't I?

Sun, 25 Mar 2001 18:32:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author herrcool - Air New Zealand was rated in a survey the other week the top airline. Well deserved.

As a New Zealander it is my airline of choice. I have flown on it several times, on domestic, as well as international flights.

On my domestic...
