Cute, fun toy, but save your money if you're serious about a camera.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author pixelbaby - In the days where you can purchase at least a 1.3 megapixel camera for slightly more than $100, it might not make much sense to spend anywhere from $50 to $80 on something that doesn't present you with a lot of options.

Lovewaves -- In praise of 12Rods

Mon, 5 Feb 2001 19:57:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pixelbaby - Last fall, a friend made a mixtape for me by way of getting to know me better. The final song on Side B of this tape was "Girl Sun", by a semi-local (Minneapolis) band called 12Rods. That song was dreampop at its *finest* -- gooey sentiments...

An A-minus for Kid A

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pixelbaby - One of the expected traits from a troupe of talented musicians is the ability to adapt and progress over time. Music should be just as, if not more, dynamic than the timeline which it occupies.

Back in 1993, the group of five young Brits...

2 hours and 8 minutes was not enough!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pixelbaby - Wow.

Although Pierce Brosnan's last two Bond movies grossed a generous profit (Tomorrow Never Dies with $125.3 million, and Goldeneye with $106.4 million), this movie appeared to respond to the cries of Bond fans everywhere. MGM...

I tried ... but it grew on me!

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author pixelbaby - For Monster, R.E.M. put away the musical, and pulled out the grunge.

A long-time R.E.M. fan, I picked up Monster as soon as it hit the shelves in 1994. Initially, I wasn't very pleased.

At first, I found most of the...

Quintessential R.E.M.

Wed, 13 Oct 1999 04:12:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pixelbaby - Of all the albums R.E.M. has done over their many years as a band, Automatic For the People is probably my favourite.

This album makes an imalgum of all emotions: love, hate, fury, apathy...

There is a good balance of fast...

Crunchy Dublin rock

Wed, 13 Oct 1999 04:07:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pixelbaby - U2 did it again with this album.

Achtung Baby was released in 1991, but I first purchased it about six months ago. I had heard some of the songs ("One", "Mysterious Ways") on the radio and had liked them well...

NetZero: You get what you pay for.

Wed, 13 Oct 1999 03:48:13 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author pixelbaby - ...never has a phrase been so descriptive.

A new resident of Minneapolis, Minnesota, I haven't yet secured my own "real" internet service provider. Having heard good things, I decided to try NetZero.

It's a big download,...

Very real

Tue, 12 Oct 1999 20:43:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pixelbaby - I didn't go to the theatre with high hopes on this movie. I expected another male-oriented war movie. What I saw was completely different.

This film managed to take the tragedies and realities of war and present them realistically, with not...

Press CTRL+P, or go to the menu and select Options. From there, choose Preferences.

Under Plug-ins in the Preferences window, there should be a section called Output. Once Output is selected, there will be a list of...

WinAmp: Easier than operating a CD player...

Tue, 12 Oct 1999 20:25:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pixelbaby - Mp3 is the audio wave of the future.

If you're going to take advantage of the wonderful sound quality, and delightfully small file size afforded by the MPEG Layer 3 audio format, then why choose anything but the best player for your...
