SanDisk Sansa M240 1 GB MP3 Player - 30 Mar 2007
If you’re looking for a cheaper MP3 player than the e200 series I reviewed yesterday, here’s one my wife owns that I like. It’s also from SanDisk, and is called the SanDisk Sansa M240 1GB MP3 Player. It’s ideal for using while exercising because it’s small, comes with a protective case and an [...]
SanDisk e200 series MP3 player - 29 Mar 2007
I’m quite pleased with my purchase of a SanDisk Sansa e250 2 GB MP3 player a few months ago. I had several requirements for an MP3 player and this one fit the bill quite nicely. In fact, it was the only one with one-touch voice recording, which is one of the main ways [...]
thai delight cafe - 22 Jul 2005
Here’s a review I submitted to Utah Citysearch on the Thai Delight Cafe.
I heard about Thai Delight from a friend and after eating there, I wished I’d tried it sooner. The food was delicious and the family that owns it are friendly and accommodating. I’ve returned multiple times and each time the food [...]
the art of project management - 15 Jul 2005
Here’s a book review of The Art of Project Management by Scott Berkun that I wrote a week or two ago for another site.
I’ve been working professionally as a software engineer for several years and I learned more in the first 100 pages of this book than from my years of experience in the industry. [...]
opera 8.0 review - 28 Jun 2005
I’ve been an Opera user for several years along with being a Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox aficionado and now that Opera 8.01 is out, here are my thoughts.
First, what I like.
Easy to switch plugins on and off (F12 and you can turn on flash, Java, sound etc)
Fast (page rendering and generally as an application)
Works with Gmail (a big [...]
hertz car rental review - 08 Jun 2005
I rented a car from Hertz on a recent trip and my overall experience with them has been quite positive. It had a few bumps, but they fixed the problems quickly and to my satisfaction.
When I first picked up the car there was only one person at the counter (it was 11:45pm so I [...]
Brother MFC-420CN - 09 Mar 2005
We just bought a Brother MFC-420CN multi-function printer and although I haven’t used it much, I’m already pleased with it. The reason I chose it is because of the network port and the price (less than $150). In addition to being a printer, it’s a copy machine, a fax machine, a scanner and [...]
canker-rid - 07 Feb 2005
As I said before, I received a free sample of Canker-Rid with the understanding that I would write about how well it worked. (By the way, I have a few more free samples. If you’re interested in getting one, let me know).
The day it came in the mail I had two canker sores [...]
Netgear RP614 router review - 07 Dec 2004
Here’s another review that I posted at Epinions, this time of the Netgear RP614 v2 router. So far I’ve only had one problem; port 2 stopped working. Their customer support has been really busy (in fact I got a busy signal a few times) so I haven’t been able to talk to anyone [...]
Logitech Marble Mouse trackball - 30 Nov 2004
Here’s a review I wrote for Epinions on the Logitech Marble Mouse, which I bought a few months ago. I’m using it as I write this entry and it still works great.
Simple, yet functional and built to last
Aug 03 ‘04
Pros: Smooth, doesn’t need cleaning, reduces wrist movement
Cons: Can’t scroll, no middle mouse button
The Bottom [...]
Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code - 29 Mar 2004
I finished reading Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code over the weekend. It was hard to put down once I got into it.
Dan Brown’s photo looked strangely familiar, so I read his biography and found that he attended and later taught English at Phillips Exeter Academy. I lived about 5 minutes walking distance [...]
a norelco - 04 Dec 2003
I just bought a Norelco razor (the Reflex Plus 6843XL) because I don’t enjoy shaving with a blade and I must say I’m impressed. You can tell a lot of engineering went into the design, and the end result is an extremely close shave. I saw the commercials and thought it was all [...]
windshield wiper review - 11 Apr 2003
I bought a new pair of windshield wipers about six months ago when the old pair began to chatter. I decided to go with the Bosch Micro Edge Excel wipers, as they appeared to be the Cadillacs of the windshield wiper line. So far, I am very impressed. They have not chattered [...]
Spirited Away - 20 Oct 2002
Spirited Away accurately describes the experience of the viewer as well as that of the little girl who learns courage and love. I was engrossed from start to finish by the story, masterful animation and music. The artists showed an unbelievable attention to detail and created majestic scenery as a backdrop for the [...]
HEM Rabbit Songs - 25 Sep 2002
I’ve finally done my first CD review for blogcritics.org for HEM’s Rabbit Songs. It’s harder than it looks to put into words how you feel about a group of songs. I’ll have to work on that.
I posted the review at blogcritics and I’ve included it here as well. I should note that [...]
