Ahhh, winter in New England.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mwagers - I just bought the Bionaire CM1 Humidifier because the price was right, $20. I have been living in the Boston area for about 5 years and the houses here are very old. Most of the apartments are poorly maintained because they can be (the city is...

Advanced Rubber Compound vs. Metal Spike, and the winner is...

Mon, 14 Jan 2002 14:45:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mwagers - Of course its the metal spike. I had these tires two cars ago. I went from studded tires to the Bridgestone Blizzak and was not that impressed. I was sold by the ad showing a car stopping on a hockey rink. Ooooooh. Well they aren't all they are...

Where's Jack Black (AKA Orange County)

Mon, 14 Jan 2002 11:48:27 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mwagers - This movie begins with Colin Hanks (Shaun Brumder) typing a letter to his idol and favorite author. Personally I think they might have shot the scene in reverse, I think he was reading his lines off of that screen. This scene set up the movie with some...

Kryptonite Evo Mini 2000, the little lock that could

Sun, 13 Jan 2002 01:06:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mwagers - As far as bike locks go, they are all pretty much the same, especially among the U-lock style. The fact is, there are few differences that will stop a bike thief. ANY lock can be breached. Its just a matter of how easily.

Want a bottom of the line, no nonsense wheel thats worth the money?

Sun, 13 Jan 2002 00:26:09 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mwagers - I have ridden many setups with Mavic's MA3 and have never been disappointed. Mostly because I knew just what I was getting myself into. These wheels are cheap, around $30 a piece. It is very noticeable. The seams are grossly misaligned, they are...

The tire that wouldn't die...its not just a dream anymore

Sun, 13 Jan 2002 00:07:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mwagers - When I first saw the Specialized Turbo tires, I was excited to see a tire with such a thick tread. I had gotten used to replacing my tires almost every month. I was working as a bicycle messenger and riding fixed gear with no brakes. This method of...

When pennys add up to dollars.

Fri, 11 Jan 2002 11:57:06 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mwagers - My girlfriend always makes fun of me for driving an extra 1/4 mile to find an Exxon or Mobile station for that whopping 2% difference. I guess the 10-20 dollars a month doesn't really seem like that much. But the fact is, since buying my new car (see...

WRX review : Thumbing its nose at BMW & Audi

Thu, 10 Jan 2002 13:43:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mwagers - I bought my Subaru Impreza WRX last May. I had my eye on the 2.5RS, but it didnt have the power for me. The first time I saw the ad for this car my jaw dropped and I ran to my computer ti find out more. They had me sold with 227 HP and 217 ft*lbs of...

Country Life: Good for vegans, bad for the rest of us.

Wed, 9 Jan 2002 14:57:30 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mwagers - If you are vegan you will love this place. They do a good job of keeping a diverse menu of all vegan foods. Most dishes are 'American Cuisine.' The best thing they offer, by far is the Sunday brunch. Good luck getting a table, and don't get scared by...

Buddha's Delight: one of the few.

Wed, 9 Jan 2002 11:47:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mwagers - For a town with such a large vegetarian/vegan population, there aren't too many places which cater strictly to non meat-eaters. Maybe the money isn't there. The bottom line is that Buddha's Delight is on of the first, and oldest vegetarian restaraunts...

Roto Zip: Designed by people who know.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mwagers - UPDATE

Broke my first bit. Trying to cut through oak floor boards. I was surprised it cut them at all (It smelled more like it was burning through it). Probably shouldn't have been using this tool at all for this job.

Tue, 8 Jan 2002 15:01:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mwagers - I am by no means an expert on radar detectors. I have used them for many years, but never purchased a really good (expensive) one until I bought the Passport 8500. I did a lot of research into other detectors and decided this was the best one for me...

A good starting point.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mwagers - I bought this book to learn Solidworks. I had minimal previous knowledge of the software. I had been formally schooled in Pro/Engineer. This book does a great job of teaching the basics of what SolidWorks is capable of. It has good, continuous...

Tue, 8 Jan 2002 11:17:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mwagers - I got this espresso maker for my birthday a year ago. My girlfriend and I had been drinking a lot of the stuff and I'm sure you know how much it costs. A home espresso maker is a great way to save money and experiment with different kinds of espresso...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mwagers - I got this grinder for my birthday. I also recently purchased a Bodum grinder for my sister for Christmas, and got to use that, check out my review. Having had experience with two different grinders, I like this one better for me.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mwagers - I did a lot of research before deciding to buy the Nokia Hakkapelita 1 for my new WRX so I won't wreck it in the snow. These are the best studded (or non-studded) tires I have owned.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mwagers - I bought this because i wanted to see if i could fit 4 people, an 80 lb dog, snowboarding/skiing equipment, and clothes, etc. in a WRX wagon for weekend trips.
