This Camera is a Royal Ripoff

Tue, 1 Mar 2005 21:24:41 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author rafechibot - I have owned my Sigma for 6 months and have done everything in my power to get it to take usable pictures in low light situations, but all I generally end up with are blurry, noisy pieces of crap. This camera is unusable above 200 ISO and if you know...

Epson Stylus Photo R300 InkJet Printer: This Printer Sucks

Tue, 1 Mar 2005 21:20:04 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rafechibot - I am a professional graphic designer and have printed on dozens of different printers over the years, and I have come to realize that the Epson R300 is by far the worst color printer I have ever used. I'm too lazy to write a full review here, but I...

The Next "Lord of the Rings?"

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rafechibot - From the book jacket: "Long ago, the Tripods -- huge, three-legged machines -- descended upon Earth and took control. Now people unquestioningly accept the Tripods' power. They have no control over their thoughts or their lives. But for a brief...

Most People Have Never Visited San Francisco

Tue, 13 Apr 2004 19:21:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rafechibot - I offer a basic truth: most people who have vacationed in San Francisco have never actually visited the city. Why? If you spend most of your time in Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown, Alcatraz, and North Beach, then you haven't actually visited the...

A Pigsty for Human People

Tue, 13 Apr 2004 18:56:59 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rafechibot - Because I have fambly in the area, I've stayed at this Ramada close to a dozen times over the past 20+ years. Why? Because until recently, there was really no choice in the immediate Woodstock area. Yes, you could stay in a b&b, but if like me you are...

It's Crap

Mon, 15 Dec 2003 18:45:57 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author rafechibot - Note: I earlier wrote a review of the Atlanta Braves Christmas ornament that looks exactly like this one. Essentially, this is part of an NFL and MLB series of ornaments you can purchase around the country. This epinion has been adapted from the...

This Hammer Nails the Competition

Mon, 15 Dec 2003 18:31:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rafechibot - Recently I moved into a new crib and I needed to hang a lot of pictures and my lady's froo froo artsy fartsy crap on our new walls. Unfortunately, we lost our only hammer in the move. Now you'd think that buying a hammer is a pretty simple endeavor,...

Why the Hell Has Nobody Reviewed This Yet?

Sun, 14 Dec 2003 22:55:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rafechibot - If you know anything about me, then you know how much I hate writing product reviews. This style of written discourse is alien to me and makes me extremely uncomfortable. Kevin Gilbert's music is one of those rare exceptions. He died stupidly...

I Used to Work for TGI

Fri, 12 Dec 2003 15:52:46 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rafechibot - I worked for TGI in suburban Houston back in my days of struggle when I was going to college... and because of what I saw there, I will never eat there again. I also worked at several Bennigans around that time and it was both remarkable and...

Not for the Serious Photoshop Artist

Fri, 12 Dec 2003 15:37:34 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rafechibot - Most of the reviews for this software on epinions focus on the Photoshop hobbyist or folks who may or may not use Adobe's finest in the worplace. I have been a graphic artist for 8 years, with 4 1/2 of them as the lead graphic artist for a huge...

The Worst Place I've Ever Been

Fri, 12 Dec 2003 15:23:23 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rafechibot - I'm a bit shocked by all the glowing reviews of Mumbai here on epinions. I've been to most of the major cities on the planet and by far Mumbai is the worst I've ever seen. Before I start bashing away, let me preface my review by stating that I love...

This Drive is Not Hard to Love

Fri, 12 Dec 2003 15:07:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rafechibot - I generate really large files and I work on 4 computers on a regular basis in different places. At any one time I have 4 or 5 gb worth of crap I need to move around, so I needed a best of breed solution that combined a small form factor, a generous...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rafechibot - For those of you who are familiar with my book reviews, you know I am loathe to give any details awa...

Open This Pandora's Box!

Fri, 4 Apr 2003 18:57:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rafechibot - I've played guitar for a number of human years. I may not very good, but I do generate a lot of notes and an impressive amount of ear noise.

Part of being a guitar player is a passion for new sounds derived from fx boxes, amps, and other crap...

Bloody Brilliant!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rafechibot - I grabbed this book a few weeks ago at the Strand Bookstore in NYC because I was taken with the cover artwork.

I finally cracked this book open a few days ago and was so taken with it I finished it in a few hours.

This has to be one...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rafechibot - I have owned one of nearly every major rewritable storage device put on the market in the past decade.

Unreal

Wed, 29 Jan 2003 15:37:59 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rafechibot - I detest McDonalds.

Why?

There are nearly 500 reviews here that go into excrutiating detail about the good and bad about Mickey D's and who among us haven't eaten there by now?

What is missing is a blunt yet brief...

Ravishingly Mediocre

Thu, 21 Nov 2002 17:34:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rafechibot - Note: Writing reviews of products is not exactly my forte as I am more of a satirist than a person of substance. However, since I own this product and I have an opinion, I decided to write this product review in the style of my usual work.....
