A great consumer speaker and more...

Mon, 26 Mar 2001 11:43:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - Well, as anyone that has read my other reviews knows I am a consummate audiophile. A recovering engineer, entering the professional music industry - yep that's what I am. And in the course of Seattle's recent earthquakes I lost my old digital studio...

Much ado about something.

Wed, 21 Feb 2001 07:18:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - Mr. Joyce has managed to take a very interesting subject, and create one of the more accessible books to the common man on the subject. Accessible in the fact that it is available at any Barnes and Noble Bookseller. The simple truth of the matter is...

The First Core

Mon, 19 Feb 2001 10:09:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - This is the CD that popularized the awesome style of spinning and composing known as terrorcore. Equal parts drum programming/synthesis and traditional composition (onto the vinyl) and manipulation of the vinyl goes into the creation of this form of...

Another Great from Ron

Mon, 19 Feb 2001 09:52:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - Ron D Core has done it again. As my signed vinyl says, "keep hardcore perverted" and he did just that with his new release. With more content of his own than ever before, and more varied artists and musical influences than his last two CDs, Ron D Core...

This isn't an industrial design competition...

Mon, 19 Feb 2001 08:15:28 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - When I first saw the H/K iSub, I was amazed at its great looks. Really, it is one of the more innovative speaker designs I have ever had a chance to lay my eyes on. Coupled with the fact I have had nothing but great luck with Harman/Kardon components...

Another Winner from the Emerald City

Mon, 24 Apr 2000 15:43:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - I moved to California only a few short months ago from Seattle, and I have yet to find a talk show on the radio or an advice column in a newspaper down here that can keep up with Dan Savage's rants in Seattle's "The Stranger." When I heard...

Irish Notes...

Mon, 10 Apr 2000 15:18:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - Somewhere between poetry and prose falls this fictional biography of Catherine McKenna. Amidst a hard life (something new to Irish Fiction perhaps?) Catherine forges her own story, an epic in song. From surviving a father and husband to being a...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: Finally, a Translucent Full-Tower!

Mon, 10 Apr 2000 14:21:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - The PC Case AT901 Chassis is a top of the line option for any of you who are looking for a show able alternative to those old beige chassis. Many of my friends have multimedia servers attached to their entertainment systems and have become the masters...

Techgnosis : Myth, Magic & Religion in the Information Age: From Cavemen to Gates, Where Do We Draw the Line?

Thu, 16 Mar 2000 23:35:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - For the Egyptians it was easy, the line between myth, magic, prayer, ritual, engineering and science was nonexistant. For us modern day Americans the matter is a bit more difficult. We have turned away from pantheism and animism; we've left the...

A Really Great Database Book

Thu, 16 Mar 2000 18:46:13 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - Unlike it's Blue Book Equivalent, this book is very useful. It is a great introduction book for business applications, business systems analysis, or project management involving the implementation or change of database systems in a small or large scale...

purecrap.mdb

Thu, 16 Mar 2000 18:06:06 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - My last review of this product was a muddled combination of this book and the black book developer's guide. Let me apologize for the fact it was hard to read and get a clear understanding of the merits and flaws of each book from that review.

...

I've read it again and again...

Wed, 23 Feb 2000 10:19:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - This book is very compactly written, though not notational or tutorial in form. It is simply jam packed full of useful information for the business practitioner, administrator, venture capitalist or consultant. I found it to be very helpful in...

The visual approach... a text to explain

Fri, 11 Feb 2000 22:03:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - This is the second useful book I found to explain the usefulness and the uses in general of Geographic Information Systems to non-GIS-oriented persons. I found that this simple introductory lesson was just what I needed to hold informative meetings to...

GIS For Non-Engineers

Fri, 11 Feb 2000 21:42:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - As portions of my job are beginning more and more to focus on the non-technical users of the products and tools I develop I am learning to explain the tool sets available through Geographic Information Systems to entrepreneurs, businessmen, and...

One of my heroes, explained.

Fri, 11 Feb 2000 21:20:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - Most of the heroes I have had in my life are/were great mathematicians, statisticians, physicists and inventors. Jim Clark is surely a genius, and worthy of praise and status as a role model for other reasons. He knows where the market is, with a keen...

Unfortunately at a loss of common sense...

Wed, 2 Feb 2000 21:19:11 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - As someone interested in the modeling marketing and sales information I felt that this would be a great way to learn a little more about market manipulation, targeted marketing, market control and market analysis. The truth is that I learned more in the...

A Far Cry from Cairo

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 03:29:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - Port Said is a quirky little town, ignored by tourists (and in general ignored by Egyptians as well). It is nowhere near the shear scale of Cairo in terms of geography or humanity. This is where I would go were I to visit Egypt again for an extended...

Dull does not begin to describe...

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 02:48:59 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - First let me explain something about Qatar, it is impossible to gain entry into it if you have an Israeli passport or even if you have an Israeli stamp on your passport. Fortunately for me (as I mentioned in an earlier near-eastern travel review) I...

seeing culture in a body and spirit with movement?

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 00:46:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - Paul Stoller's "Sensuous Scholarship" is, for the anthropologist or sociologist, absolutely necessary to read. His apologetic to the intellectual community consists of the non-Eurocentric nature of bioethnographic analysis due to the fact that...

Well I actually did...

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 23:17:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - That's right, I actually did read this book (unlike the first two reviewers). Wolfe's main assertion, following much research, in "One Nation, After All" is that though the media and experts on American sociology and politics would have you...

Definitely a tourist haven...

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 20:49:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - The fact that Broadway is the center of Seattle's gay community is not the only reason that Capital Hill attracts tourists and locals alike. Safety is not a major concern in this area anymore because of the nearby presence of Seattle's East Precinct...

Fond memories and never a problem

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 20:10:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - I have gone skiing at Steven's Pass at least once per year for every year of my conscious existence. When I lived in Upstate NY and came to Washington in winters to be with my mom we would go up every weekend, sometimes my dad would even join us. The...

Just say no,

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 20:00:30 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - That's right, just don't do it. This is not worth your time or your money. The snow is always wet, the trails ice up often, the service is so-so (hit and miss, really, sometimes I have received helpful and friendly service from Snoqualmie's employees,...

Best Skiing in Washington

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 19:53:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author seraphim - There is no better skiing that you will find in all of Washington State than Crystal Mountain. The powder is fresh, the trails and runs are many, the lifts are comfortable and the price is not bad either. I have gone skiing at Crystal Mountain every...
