HAM Radio: Kenwood TH-D7A(G) HT

Written: September 22, 2007
As someone who buys a lot of expensive toys, I'm not really in the habit of writing reviews of the things I buy.  However, every once in awhile, a product I use on a regular basis simply begs to be reviewed, in the hopes of sharing my positive experience with the world.  This is one such product,...

TV: Undercover Boss

Written: February 22, 2012
I watch very little TV, usually, and I avoid anything that can be called "reality TV" as devoutly as possible. In my opinion, it's the epitome of everything that's wrong with modern television, and I have no interest in partaking in it. However, every rule has an exception, and for me, that except...

Paul Blart - Mall Cop (2009)

Written: March 17, 2009
On a whim, my mom and I saw Paul Blart: Mall Cop this evening. I didn't have high expectations; the previews made the movie look rather dumb, and when LilPup & Spike saw it last week, they seemed less than impressed. So, I was expecting a movie full of stupid humour that I probably wouldn't rememb...

From classic, everyday favourites, to local delicacies, she has an impressive talent for taste-testing sweet treats. Her site is currently on hiatus for a short while, but she'll...

Still Waiting (2009)

Written: February 25, 2009
One of my "guilty pleasures" is a fondness for the movie "Waiting". If you haven't seen it...well, I'd have a hard time recommending it to anyone, on the same level that I'd recommend any other movie. It's quite possibly one of the most disgusting, poorly-written movies I've ever seen in my life. ...

Software: Google Chrome

Written: December 8, 2008
<strong>Note:</strong> Check the date on this post, this is obviously a bit outdated. However, as of the last time I installed Chrome, in November 2011, the points about its installation practices still stood. Recently, I had the opportunity to use Google's new web browser, Chrome. Since I'm p...

W - The Movie (2008)

Written: October 20, 2008
Over the weekend, I went to see W., a satirical portrayal of Dubya's adult life. From the previews, it looked quite entertaining, and it appeared to make him look like the retarded monkey that I see him as in my mind. So, sure, let's check it out.

Movie: Easy Rider (1969)

Written: February 11, 2003
Freedom is the concept upon which this nation was founded. The idea of making one's own decisions rather than the government making them has spawned numerous attacks, personal and global, all perpetrated by someone who wanted a piece of the liberty pie. When looking back at history, one might ask, "...
