At first it seems like a great toy, a 30" long grey/white raptor that has several "moods". I received mine for christmas in 2006, and unfortunately it hasnt been through a full set of batteries yet. This is mostly because it just kinda sits around, waiting for me to do something cool with it. I'll let you know when I figure out what that is. Its too sl...

I had previously played the Warcraft line of RTS games and enjoyed them, as well as playing the popular Everquest MMO, so when World of Warcraft was announced, I was intrigued. I applied and got into the open beta test and have played since then, with a few breaks for outside reasons. The graphics are not photorealistic, but have a slight cartoonish look that makes them pleasin...

"(Mister) Potato... Potahtoe..."
Everybody knows who Mr Potato Head is... so who's that masked spud? Starting with Star Wars, Hasbro has released several themed Mr Potato Head toys, the SpudTrooper, Darth Tater, ArTwo-Potato, SpiderSpud, and Optimash Spud. Each of them is based on the standard Mr Potato Head body, except the ArTwo which is a slightly smaller body, with accessories to match the character th...

Our old knives were the kind with the small grooved serrations in them, so needless to say they were getting a little dull after 10 years. We saw these online and they were a good price, so we ordered them. When they arrived we sat at the dining room table and unwrapped the box. Good grief there was alot of packing. Not only was the wooden block seperately wrapped, but e...

A kids portable video game system seems an odd thing for a 30 year old man to own. That is until you realize this system is so much more than video games. It has a built in web browser, with onboard WI-FI, video capability, picture slide show and more. The web browser is a bit difficult to use given the PSP's lack of a keyboard, and I'm just not talented enough to use ...

"Office 2007, but is it better?"
Office 2007 came preinstalled on my brand new laptop, but regularly retails for $499.99. Needless to say, if I had to pay for it, I'd stick with notepad because I dont think any software is worth that much. New features include these tabbed menus to replace the old drop downs. They are alot easier to spot the common functions because they tend to have picture icons with th...

"The All in One thats really just One"
All in One office machines are all the rage these days. Some work better than others. This machine is definately one of the others more than one of the some. It has a moderate printing speed, but crawls through copying. Also no functions can be used while another is being used. For instance you cant copy while a fax is sending. The paper tray is also abysmall...

"Holiday Inn - Brentwood"
A recent business trip took me to Nashville, TN. The company put me up in the Holiday Inn at Brentwood. Brentwood is a suburb type area of Nashville and is relatively close to downtown. On approach the hotel was very easy to get into, with all the enterances from the road clearly marked. However, it only had one enterance to the lobby, and that door sometimes was a littl...

"Little Tikes Activity Walker"
My daughter is starting to get up and walk around the furniture, so we thought getting a walk behind toy would help her learn to walk on her own. We found this at a buy one get one free sale at Toys R Us (price given reflects normal price). The toy was a pain to assemble. While the directions are pretty clear, actually putting together some of the sliders requires 3 hands and ...

"Not a bad seat in the house."
I went to Raymond James stadium last year for a University of South Florida football game. Now having been to about a half dozen college football venues, you never know exactly what to expect, and the fact this was also a pro venue leads you to hope for more. I was impressed. We had what I thought were going to be lousy seats in the corner of the end zone on the first level, b...

"Seeds in a Jiffy... by Jiffy"
The Jiffy Professional Greenhouse 72 is not a full size greenhouse, but a seed starter tray with cover (was the closest category). With the cost of food skyrocketing, and having a young daughter (and wife) who love their fresh vegetables, I was interested in starting a garden. Now, granted, I dont have remotely a green thumb, but figured I grew tomatos in winter (ok, granted, yes, i...

You say Sports Illustrated and the thing that comes first to peoples minds, if not out of their mouth is "swimsuit issue". No use denying it, I read it.. cover to cover... but then I also read every issue of sports illustrated cover to cover. I'm not a sports nut, I couldnt tell you who won the world series last year, though I did watch the Super Bowl so I know the ans...
