Cottage Home 5-Drawer Chest 621-1707FB: Great customer service, but don't force the drawers

Thu, 24 Apr 2003 23:28:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author orkboi - We bought our Sauder 5-drawer dresser from our local Fred Meyer to use for our upcoming baby. In the past, most of our furniture from IKEA. Sauder was a very different experience.

First of all, the box was very, very heavy, and we had to get a...

Rental Fodder

Fri, 7 Sep 2001 18:03:23 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author orkboi - Don't waste a trip to the movies to see Rat Race. On the other hand, if you're a fan of Whoopi Goldberg, Cuba Gooding Jr., Seth Green, Rowan Atkinson, John Cleese, or any of the other stars of Rat Race, it might be a worthy rental.

Here's the...

Adding insult to injury

Wed, 25 Jul 2001 19:53:21 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author orkboi - US Bank is a very large bank with many branches in the Seattle area. I started with US Bank when I moved here because they had branches near where I work and where I live. The staff in the branches are usually quite helpful and courteous.

It's not about business

Sat, 21 Jul 2001 21:23:54 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author orkboi - I'm not going to lauch into a criticism of Ayn Rand's writing. As a philosopher she's smart, witty and persuasive. As a novelist she's wooden and full of cliches.

I've been told that Ayn Rand is Alan Greenspan's favorite philosopher...

Black and White for Windows, Mac: My Head Hurts!

Fri, 27 Apr 2001 20:42:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author orkboi - It's 11:30pm, day four of my owning Black & White, and my head hurts. Yes, I've been playing the game steady for three days, which might be a point in it's favor. On the other hand, I'm ready to toss it and my computer out the window. Black & White is a...

I'm not a tech-head

Mon, 23 Apr 2001 14:13:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author orkboi - I'm a web page designer. I make graphics, I write javascripts and I design a pretty mean interface. I don't set up computers and hardware, frankly, gives me a headache. So this review isn't about technical yadda yadda, it's about usability, and with one...

The Secret History II

Mon, 23 Apr 2001 02:45:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author orkboi - OK, that's a little silly of me. True, Donna Tartt's still working on novel number two and it's been what, a decade? I remember when her name was all over the "up and coming" lists. Now it's almost an embarrasment to mention her. Power to her, I'm sure...

Don't Flatter Yourself

Mon, 16 Apr 2001 21:49:12 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author orkboi - I can't believe some of the stuff I read about the "Art of War". One reviewer had the gall to suggest that the Art of War was the secret to the Japanese leap from feudal society to world economic power. I guess he skipped the class on World War II.

A Seattle Classic

Mon, 16 Apr 2001 20:48:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author orkboi - Seattle - City of Diners!

You may not realize it, but the city of coffee is also the city of diners, and Ileen's is a classic. Sure, it's dark, smokey and divey, but I find myself eating there at least once a week. Why? Because the food is...

It's a decision...

Mon, 16 Apr 2001 20:47:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author orkboi - First of all, although even young kids enjoy the game, it's really for adults.

I came to Warhammer 40k after playing Magic:The Gathering for years. I recently got married, and I had to decide what game I was going to make my hobby. Warhammer...
