REVIEW: Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5500 Revolution

January 5, 2009 at 10:23 pm

Usually I’m not in the city on boxing day, so I don’t have much experience with finding post-Xmas deals. I did venture out this year however, and managed to snag a fairly good deal on a new mouse and keyboard at Best Buy. Listed at $199.99 CDN, I picked up the Logitech Cordless Desktop MX [...]

REVIEW: Staples Copy & Print Centre Online

December 27, 2008 at 3:47 pm

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! I did, and enjoyed a small break from blogging too. Time to get back into it!
One of the things I got Sharon for Christmas was a food calendar. I wanted to get her something related to photography and food, but another picture frame just didn’t seem that interesting. [...]

REVIEW: Brother HL-4070CDW Color Laser Printer

January 21, 2008 at 8:29 pm

Like Tris Hussey, I received a comic from Darren Barefoot back in November with an offer to review a new Brother color laser printer. Unlike Tris, I am really late with my review! In any case, I jumped at the chance and have had the printer for a couple months now.
There were a few options [...]

Zagat Survey up for sale

January 14, 2008 at 9:47 pm

During my trip to New York in December, I became quite familiar with Zagat. As a foodie, Sharon assured me that Zagat was the final word on restaurants in NYC. And walking around certainly convinced me – tons of restaurants proudly display their Zagat rating or review in the window. If I had to [...]

REVIEW: Transformers

July 5, 2007 at 12:45 pm

Wow, just wow. I went to see Transformers last night, and I left the theatre damn impressed. Keep in mind that I’m not a Transformers geek. I never played with the toys, nor did I watch the cartoon. Thus, it would have been hard for me to be disappointed about “staying true to the story” [...]

REVIEW: I think Pownce sucks

July 3, 2007 at 8:18 pm

I mentioned in my last notes post that I’d write about Pownce, so here it goes. Nothing can top the iPhone in the hype department, but Pownce has come close recently. And unfortunately for Kevin Rose and his crew, it doesn’t live up to any of it, unlike the iPhone (note: I don’t have one). [...]

REVIEW: Good Girl Gone Bad – Rihanna

June 19, 2007 at 1:59 pm

Can you believe it has only been two years since Rihanna released her first album? It was August 2005 when Music of the Sun hit store shelves. I reviewed that album, and wasn’t incredibly impressed. In April 2006 she released her second album, A Girl Like Me. I didn’t review it, but I did like [...]

How could Zune’s software suck so badly?

November 16, 2006 at 1:11 pm

Perhaps you’ve heard on the news recently that Microsoft’s new digital media player, the Zune, is hardly flying off the shelves. I guess that’s not too surprising given the early reviews the device has received. Now I know Microsoft is pretty good at hardware (Xbox, mice and keyboards, etc.) but they are still a software [...]

Audio: Review of Dragon’s Den Episode 1

October 7, 2006 at 1:00 am

Wednesday night was the first episode of CBC Television’s new business reality series, Dragon’s Den. I found out about the show a long time ago through VenturePrize when the show’s producers were looking for contestants. Dickson and I considered throwing our names in the hat, but we decided we didn’t necessarily want the exposure (at [...]

REVIEW: Cheyenne Kimball’s debut album

September 14, 2006 at 12:37 pm

I’ve been listening to Cheyenne Kimball’s debut, titled The Day Has Come, and I really like it. I guess I am a sucker for her brand of “not quite bubblegum pop” but I’m okay with that. You’ve probably heard the first single, “Hanging On”, on the radio. You might even have seen her reality TV [...]

REVIEW: The Game by Neil Strauss

September 3, 2006 at 10:25 pm

A few weeks ago Sharon borrowed The Game from the library, and when she was done, lent it to me to read. I planned to write a review after reading it, but never found the time. As a result, the book has been overdue twice now (she renewed it once). I figured I should get [...]

Funny Tokyo Drift Movie Review

June 24, 2006 at 6:45 pm

Despite a completely rotten rating, it seems there are at least a few people who have enjoyed The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. I have friends who have said it’s alright, and maybe even enjoyable. I don’t plan on seeing the movie, because I just can’t imagine it would be worth it, even with [...]
