I picked up this pair of headphones after getting frustrated with a Sony pair I had that just didn't fit on my head right. It turned out to be an excellent purchase. These 'ear bud' headphones slip into your ear and stay there comfortably. They come with 3 different sizes of soft rubber domes which fit over the end of the ear bud and inside your ear. These domes help to block out so...

My obsession with pi began in high school, when I discovered that there was a number (called pi, represented by the Greek letter π) whose decimal places continued forever. I set out memorizing as many as I could. Over the years, my fondness for the number led me to collect several pi-related items, including keychains and this cologne.Why this cologne is called pi, I do not know. My girlfrie...

As a sufferer of frequent migraines, I am constantly looking for a better pain reliever. Visiting the drug store one night, I found this new product on sale, so I thought I'd give it a try. Several days later, when the pain hit, I discovered how quickly they worked.The label describes the product as 'Acetaminophen with PAIN RELIEF ENHANCER' - but what does that mean? Checking the ba...

When I decided I wanted to buy a flash drive to store my traveling data (school assignments and whatnot), I naturally did a little research online to see which brand and model would be the best choice. Out of all of the sites I visited, most of them seemed to recommend the SanDisk Cruzer series. When I saw the Titanium variants, I fell in love, and went to pick one up shortly afterward.It's...

I inherited this acoustic guitar when my brother went away to university, and one day I decided to pick it up and try to learn it. That was four years ago, and it still works like a charm, the strings only having been replaced once.The Yamaha acoustic guitar is a lovely entry-level acoustic guitar with no unnecessary bells and whistles. It is strong and sturdy and sounds very nice. In its lifet...

I'll admit, I'm not a very health-oriented person. I spend a lot of time indoors and I don't make a point to exercise regularly. I also didn't take vitamins - until recently. When the idea came into my head to purchase some Flintstones vitamins, I immediately acted upon it - and what a good idea it was.Flintstons multivitamins are intended for children, but that does not mean th...

When my sister came home from work one day with a huge bagful of these sample-sized deodorants, I of course claimed a large number of them for myself. Since then, I have kept them on hand in case of emergencies, as their powerful odor should only be used in the most delicate of situations.The scent I have is 'Cool Fusion', and it is not to be underestimated. The smell hits like a somewh...

I purchased some Degree deodorant expecting good results after seeing it advertised and endorsed during the Olympic Games. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype.The deodorant smells fairly pleasant, but it doesn't last long enough to be worth the money. Degree's whole schtick is that their products are 'body heat activated', but what does that even mean? They only sme...

This deodorant did not work for me very well at all. I was not impressed. I think I recieved it for free in some sort of give-away, but I can't remember exactly. I am glad that I did not buy it, for I would be ashamed to have done so.The scent isn't horrible. Actually, it's sort of pleasant - very light and crisp, reminiscent of the name: 'Ocean Surf'. However, it is in effe...

I have searched for many years to find the perfect bubblegum. In high school, it was always whichever made your breath the freshest, so I would end up choosing the strongest mint possible. Often that meant that flavor was forgotten. I went from brand to brand until I found something, one gum that would make all other gums obsolete.Extra Bubblemint, while the name implies mintiness, is a fantast...

I've always been a fan of the Power Stripe line of Right Guard deodorants. The first time I used them, I found that they lasted quite long, and had a pleasant but not overpowering fragrance.This variant, Cool Peak, is no exception. Its name may be a little misleading - it smells not of a cool mountain peak but more like a strong bar of soap. Do not let this deter you, however, as it does of...

This Roots leather wallet is still in perfect shape after sitting in my butt pocket for several years. It's a nice, black 3-fold wallet, and has plenty of space for anything you might want to store inside. Upon opening it you find three small coin pockets as well as fifteen slots for cards, whether they be ID cards, your driver's license, credit cards, or anything similar. The top bill ...

This is my second pair of Oakley sunglasses. The first, unfortunately, were run over by a car in a bizarre series of events. However, this second pair takes up the torch and are just as good as I remembered them from before.This is a pair of midnight-blue Oaklay 'Minute' sunglasses, and their design is nothing short of beautiful. Every edge is curved and smoothed, giving them a flowing ...

After receiving a less-than spectacular watch for Christmas one year, I took it back to the store and noticed this beauty. Despite being a little pricier than the one I was returning, I picked it up.The first thing that you'll notice about this digital watch is that the colors are reversed - that is, the background is black and the numbers are the typical background color. While this seems ...

After my corded Logitech mouse died, I decided to try something without a cord.What a good decision that was. Cordless mice offer much more freedom than their tethered brethren, and this one is no exception. The Logitech MX 610 is a lovely mouse that fits perfectly in my hand and performs beutifully. It comes with a small USB receiver that plugs into any free USB port on your computer. When I b...

LCD monitors are all-around better than their boxy ancestors. They emit less heat, use less power, give clearer images, and are easier on the eyes. When I learned all this, naturally, I set out to acquire one of my own.The VX922 from Viewsonic has lived up to every expectation I had and more. It boasts a 19 inch screen, 1280x1024 maximum resolution, and a refresh rate that's so quick there ...

My Canon Powershot A400 was and is still my first digital camera. Despite being roughed around a bit over the years, it's still in good shape and has proven very reliable.However, now that I think of it, it's really a pretty mediocre digital camera. It 'boasts' 3.2 megapixels, which is about average for a camera of its age. It features a small, clear deisplay on the back and ple...

I always wanted one of these little egg-shakers, they're so cute! When I spotted them behind the counter at a local music store for just $2.50, I had to get one.This Toca shaker is in the shape of an egg, and small enough to fit in one hand. It shakes nicely on its own, but where it really shines is when held in your hand as you strum a guitar. If you're lucky, it will shake along with ...
