RCA's Top o' the Line Killer Machine

Thu, 14 Mar 2002 22:30:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sfainer - So, I'll be honest. When I say top of the line, I mean the top of RCA's line. This camera wouldn't compete with a Canon GL or XL or a high-end Sony, but for $700 dollars, you're not gonna find a better camera.

Here's the deal:

Understand Conflict in the Middle East

Thu, 19 Oct 2000 23:59:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sfainer - American Media often portrays the conflict in the middle east between Israel and the Palestinians as one between the moral heavyweight Israel, and the moral bankruptcy of the Palestinians. Noam Chomsky's "The Fateful Triangle" details through...

Protective with Plenty O' Pockets

Thu, 19 Oct 2000 16:04:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sfainer - I've just returned from taking my laptop to Israel and back in this fine semi-leather case. It has held up well, still looks new, and has provided plenty of extra room for my spiral notebook, or magazine, or many CD-ROMs.

If you're looking...

Pictures don't cut it

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sfainer - At five years old I knew Yosemite National Park was magical. My parents took me there, tried to get me to ski (fat chance), and instead got me to appreciate natural beauty for the first time.

Keep in mind, I am a boy, and boys don't...

Thu, 29 Jun 2000 02:56:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sfainer - Reading "My Side of the Mountain" or "Hatchet" makes me wonder where I'd want to be stranded if I was ever lost in the Wilderness, away from home. Mineral King, deep in the heart of Sequoia National Park is definitely the place...

Clark University: Why I left...

Wed, 5 Apr 2000 17:15:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sfainer - I began my college career at Clark and made incredible friends. The school is located in a not-so good neighborhood unfortunately, and having grown up in Santa Barbara, CA, it seemed even worse than it was.

Clark has darn fine academics in...

Tue, 4 Apr 2000 17:30:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sfainer - For 300 dollars less than a PIII 450 Presario 1800, I purchased a Celeron 500 I couldn't be happier about. With built in DVD w/ TV-out and Ethernet port, this notebook is power machine. I upgraded to 96 megs of RAM and got the 14.1 inch screen,...

A Ball for Wimps

Fri, 3 Mar 2000 04:06:34 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author sfainer - If you want a ball that plays nothing like a game ball, is slippery to set, and makes even the hardest hitter look like a screw-up, this is your ball. The super soft has been the bane of my volleyball playing experience. It was the ball that my...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sfainer - A paraphrase of the opening lines: "There was once in the country of Alifbay, a sad city; a city so ruinously sad it had forgotten its own name. The people ate glumfish from the sea which made them belch with melancholy."

ePilot: What more do you want???

Thu, 24 Feb 2000 05:20:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sfainer - Sure, we all want to surf where we want to surf, and we'll do that, but e-pilot is by far the most unobtrusive pay-to-surf program around. A little button hangs out by my start button and when I feel like make 40 cents for visiting one website, why I...

Tue, 22 Feb 2000 22:04:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sfainer - Even though I grew up in Santa Barbara, I never saw Westmont's campus because of its seclusion in the foothills. When I finally did on a Spring Break home from my first year of college back east, I knew I had to come home. I am now convinced that it is...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sfainer - I just made the trek to June Mountain with 25 Junior and Senior High students, fully expecting as harrowing an experience on the slopes as the 9 hour bus ride to the resort. Imagine my surprise upon arrival to June Mountain that the staff (young...
