With the release of Windows 7 RC, everyone can finally see what the new OS is going to feel like. I recently installed the new OS to try out and so far I am very impressed. I decided to split the review into several pieces, this way I can add more information into later parts. [...]

I had not realized that a new Indiana Jones Soundtrack Collection had come out until very recently. Of course as soon as I saw it online, I purchased. Once I received the new collection I listened to it and was very delighted by what I heard. It’s a very nice collection, but since I did [...]

I decided it was time for me to get a small 14” laptop. After looking around for a little bit, I decided to get a Dell. At the time, Dell had a great deal on the Inspiron m640. I got 1GB Ram, Core 2 Duo processor, 120 Gigabyte hard drive, DVD recorder. The graphics are [...]

I was walking through Toys R Us with my wife and son and noticed the GPS units. I had been pondering purchasing a unit since so many people were raving about the usefulness of the devices. I stopped and glanced through what they had in stock and noticed that there was a unit for $151.00. [...]

A while back I picked up a Gerber Suspension Multitool. When I purchased the tool, I thought it was nice, but as time went by I, my opinion started to change. In the time I got my Gerber, I have bought a Leatherman Wave and a Victorinox Swisstool RS. Once you have both of these [...]

This is a great episode and part of season 8 which is definitely my favorite season. This is a great MST3K episode to show anyone not familiar with the show. Horror of Party Beach is a perfect movie for Mike and the Bots to make fun of. While some episodes can slow down with the [...]

Twenty years ago my father bought me a pair of Sony MDR-V4 headphones. The headphones were terrific and I used them constantly for over ten years. Two years ago I decided I wanted a new pair of headphones to replace the earbuds that come with the iPod since the sound quality is so poor. Size [...]

Yoohoo is one of my son’s favorite drinks. One of mine too. We usually purchase this drink in a pack of ten small boxes at a time. They taste great in the carton and the bottles are excellent as well, but the cans are awful. Yoohoo in a can seems like a great idea, but [...]

Several years ago there was a show on called The Critic. It started Jay Sherman (the voice of Jon Lovits). It’s a pretty good show, but the humor can be a little flat at times. The humor is not for everyone. If you have not ever seen it and are not a fan of The [...]

This is one of my all time favorite movies. I’m not going to get into a large review. You can google reviews on this movie. The Private Eyes is a great movie, but you may not like it if you don’t like movies that are a little on the silly side. There is nothing smart [...]

I have been a very big fan of McAlister’s sweet tea for some time now. My love affair with the tea started while visiting a Verizon Wireless store. A man was walking around in the store with a plastic glass full of tea. I had seen the restaurant, but had not yet visited. Upon seeing [...]

Michael J. Nelson is best known from his work on Mystery Science Theater 3000. This was a brilliant show and ran for about 10 years. Since MST3K went off the air 10 years ago, Mike Nelson has written a few books. They are wonderful and the humor is top notch. I have read two of [...]

Almost everyone has heard a Moby song. There have been several prominent television comercials which have featured his music along with radio play and movies. His music is very distinctive, some can actually pick out a Moby song they have never heard before. The album “18″ is the followup to his very sucessful album “play”. [...]

About 6 months ago, I purchased a Sandisk Cruzer from a family member. They had purchased the drive using a rebate, but never needed it. It sat around still sealed and was never used. While at their house, I asked if they wanted to sell since they had no plans to use it. They agreed [...]
