Inexpensive and Versatile, But Has Issues
We bought this netbook for my mother-in-law to take with her to China so that she could use Skype and probably use the Internet as well. For only $178 plus tax it was less than what I spend on groceries most days going to Costco (grainted "groceries" includes single-malt Scotch or a case of Pinot...
Philips Hf3470 Wake-up Light (HF3470/60) - It Actually Works
I have to wake up early for work on some days. Some days it is 6 am, some 5 am. Not having the same schedule, combined with waking up at 5 am when it is still dark and using an alarm clock was pretty harsh on the system. I didn't feel "refreshed" after waking, and in the early part of the day I...
Olympus XZ-2 Digital Camera - Another Amazing Lens From Olympus
Having used the Olympus XZ-1 for several months, I tried the new Olympus XZ-2. Larger and more refined-looking, this camera improves on the XZ-1 in several areas. While the amazing lens of XZ-1 didn’t change, the sensor did. The former is a good thing as it is 28mm at wide angle, has a large...
Most importantly, I saved thousands of dollars shopping for cars there
I have been using Edmunds.com for many years, probably for close to 10 years. I mostly use Edmunds.com as a source of information about cars, but it proved useful in getting good prices on cars without having to haggle at dealerships in person. I have used this service in buying several cars over...
Coopervision Hydrasoft Toric Lenses - Good Comfort and Longevity
As my eyesight deteriorated through the years of reading too much and using computers all day long, OTC contact lenses became unsuitable. I have such strong astigmatism, custom lenses were prescribed and for years I have worn custom soft contact lenses from Coopervision called Coopervision...

Acer CRW 6206A CD-RW Drive - Setup Can Be A Headache
A while ago, I have had this drive for more than three years. First week was spent trying to make it work. I realize that this is probably not the Acer problem, but the problem of all ATAPI CD-R/RW drives.
Installation
The drive uses E-IDE/ATAPI interface. Obviously,...
Sharp DV-600U DVD Player - Outdated, But OK as a CD Player.
About 13 years ago, I bought this Sharp DV-600U for what was a good deal at the time - I managed to buy it for $135 on the web.
About the Player
It was small and looked nice, picture and sound quality were very good. It has Coax digital out (RCA x 1), optical digital...
2004 Infiniti G35 - Fast, Nice Looking, Inexpensive, but not Perfect
I wanted to get the Infiniti G35 Sedan (Luxury Leather) to replace my Mitsubishi Galant for a while, but was waiting for the 2004 model. You see, I try not to buy the new model cars the first year they are released...
Philips HIR2 9012 Headlight Bulb - Amazing Brightness and Life When Used Instead of 9006/HB4
We have a couple of Honda Accords in our family and one of the characteristics that bothered me was the illumination provided by the headlights; low beams to be exact. While not exactly poor, it...

Ecos Magnolia and Lily Laundry Detergent - 100% Natural, Works Fine in Cold Water
We have been using the Ecos Magnolia and Lilies Ultra Laundry Liquid for several months now. We bought 4 100-oz bottles and one of them is almost empty as we have a 2-year old and need to launder a lot of clothes almost daily.
In addition to being natural, this detergent was supposed to work...
Olympus XZ-1 Digital Camera - Amazing Lens, But Could Be Better
I have always wanted a camera (other than my digital SLR) that had all of the following: 28mm wide angle lens, large aperture, optical image stabilization and a sharp lens. And now I have the Olympus XZ-1.
About the Olympus XZ-1
The Olympus XZ-1 is a...
Citizen Women's EW3030-50A Eco-Drive Corso Stainless Steel Watch
For my mother’s birthday, I got her the Citizen Eco-Drive EW3030-50A Stainless Steel watch. In the past, she would wear either cheap quartz, battery-powered watches or an Orient automatic. The problem with the former was the battery needed changing and then eventually the watch would die...
Feather Hi-Stainless Double Edge Blade - The Sharpest Blade Ever
Feather Hi-Stainless double edge blades are considered to be the sharpest. I have used a dozen or so different blades and I have to agree. But does it mean they are the best?
The Background
