My Dremel 8000 did just that for the last 4 years. However, both battery power and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~435377966724 Fri, 4 Jul 2008 10:09:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_435377966724?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_434990583428?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author theuerkorn - Home projects are the perfect excuse to buy power tools. Almost every "man" of the house knows what the Home Depot advertisement is all about, even if the tool ends up with little or no use. Regardless, DIY projects help reduce cost significantly and the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~434990583428 Tue, 1 Jul 2008 15:03:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_434990583428?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_433375186564?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author theuerkorn - Manufacturers of all kinds of shavers face a difficult problem to solve every year: How to improve on such a mature product line and still get customers to toss their old and buy the new. I have been following the Philips/Norelco product line for many... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~433375186564 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 17:23:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_433375186564?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_432353021572?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author theuerkorn - With summer comes the pleasure of spending nights out in the garden and enjoy nature (in whatever limited fashion the respective location allows). Anyway, our little town of 35k people is rural enough to have relatively lush gardens and with it a bunch... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~432353021572 Tue, 3 Jun 2008 17:48:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_432353021572?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_431997750916?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author theuerkorn - As part of our new home, which happens to be a sort of fixer upper, the opportunities for craftsmen are endless. With me taking on all the hats from carpenter to plumber, this also provides an excellent justification to upgrade and/or purchase new tools... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~431997750916 Fri, 30 May 2008 15:11:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_431997750916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_431150960260?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author theuerkorn - Memory cards have become commodities these days and with capacities of 1 or 2 GByte being the norm for the budget range while achieving 10 MB/s of transfer rate, the true differences are less with every new version. As impressive as new data transfer... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~431150960260 Fri, 23 May 2008 12:44:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_431150960260?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_431137263236?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author theuerkorn - Up until now, my iPod Nano was only allowed to sound through the headphones and occasionally a FM transmitter to the car's stereo. The Kicker iKick iK500 changed that and the our rooms are now filled with music coming from a tiny mp3 player. Kicker is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~431137263236 Fri, 23 May 2008 11:01:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_431137263236?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_427223912068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author theuerkorn - Well, the original Discovery was fascinating but frankly too expensive and we didn't have a good application for it. Further, reviews were just okay. Now that we're in our new house, we were still on the initial high and finally the Roomba 560 moved in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~427223912068 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 17:03:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_427223912068?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_426436759172?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author theuerkorn - Our offspring apparently decided to be on the fast track for the transition from a baby seat to a convertible seat and as of the 9th month reached the 29" height limit of the G <br/>raco <br/> Snugride.

Well, one could also call it magic when it come to hitting the perfect grade of "doneness". Technically, it's all a matter of what temperature the meat reaches in order to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~427254648452 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:55:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_427254648452?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_427054108292?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author theuerkorn - To find this game was a surprise to me and as an old(er) gamer I keep fond memories of certain genres that fell out of favor long time ago. One of those is a pinball simulator for the PC and especially one that takes advantage of the "latest" technology... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~427054108292 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 13:51:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_427054108292?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_427034316420?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author theuerkorn - Well, it really just listens and doesn't do any tricks that would entertain our 9-month-old. However, as parents this is a great accomplishment since it allows the adults to have some quality time that can be applied to home projects. ;-) Under normal... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~427034316420 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 10:21:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_427034316420?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_425647443588?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author theuerkorn - A new house needs new locks, and when at least one of the owners is a nerd, the Kwikset Smartscan is likely to be in the running for the deadbolt position. Well, so it was in our house and Smartscan accepted the mission to manage access for us. It wasn't... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~425647443588 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 12:36:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_425647443588?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_425819541124?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author theuerkorn - To be honest my main criteria for purchasing this outlet strip was simply the power cord of 6 ft. Most come with a short 3 or 4 ft cord and that wasn't enough for me. In fact, the similar priced Phillips model (6 outlets) was only 3 ft short and offered... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~425819541124 Sat, 12 Apr 2008 00:14:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_425819541124?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416454381188?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author theuerkorn - Nature is both the most precious resource we have and the least respected when it comes to preserving it versus personal gain. Alright, with that out of the way, the BBC series Planet Earth does a marvelous job in reminding us of the beauty and fragility... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416454381188 Wed, 9 Apr 2008 15:06:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416454381188?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_424826998404?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author theuerkorn - One of the joys of home ownership is to pick the (power) tools for the job ... at least for most guys. While there is the best tool, it's often countered by the budget and in the end it's a compromise. In reality, this constraint help to focus on the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~424826998404 Fri, 4 Apr 2008 13:43:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_424826998404?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_424584121988?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author theuerkorn - To celebrate our new house, one of the little things that make a difference (for a day or two) is a new phone. Well, in our case it was also driven by the fact that the new house was significantly bigger than the apartment. Hence, the 2.4 GHz phone... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~424584121988 Thu, 3 Apr 2008 13:17:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_424584121988?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_420783165060?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author theuerkorn - As we were house hunting, one question came up quite frequently: "How big is ..." and that certainly is a tough one to answer if you're in a hurry. Once we fell for our new home and went back to measure for a basic floor plan, being quick was one more... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~420783165060 Tue, 4 Mar 2008 17:17:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_420783165060?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_411578961540?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author theuerkorn - Alright, this year Santa brought TiVo to our house and after 2 months of usage the feelings are mixed towards this new companion.

However, Santa didn't only put the hardware under the tree but also this game, which I didn't really know enough about to be excited or disappointed.
