At first I thought the illustrations were terribly simplistic and childish, but by the end I came around to it. The story on the other hand was great. I believe it would be rather hard to continue to kick serious ass when you're in your 60's.

Thu, 15 Jan 2009 20:48:25 PST

UNDECIDED. I ordered this from China and I really don't quite know what to think of it. It is a little too big. It is way way too thick. And don't count on ever using it as a dual-analog stick controller. That said, it includes a far better keyboard then the Sony controller attachment and certainly can take care of your PS3 remote needs. It is a hard-to-find import right now and there isn't a lot of press on it, so I'd say think it over and then give it a try.

SKIP IT. I needed a sleeve for my new Mini 9 so I looked around and saw this one for cheap at TigerDirect.com. They were sold out of the nice blue one so I got this drab-looking silver one, and it couldn't be crappier. The neoprene weaving is very porous and the light color shows every possible stain. If you are thinking about buying this, you might as well wrap your precious netbook in a dirty Taco Bell napkin for a few days and see how you like that before plunking down $20 plus shipping.

BUY THIS. In spite of the extremely unfortunate title of this book, I picked this up and read a few pages. To my surprise, this turned out to be a pretty good history lesson while providing a parallel study of team dynamics and other interesting tendencies of people in group settings. The font size is extremely small, and the chapter sections are broken nicely into very small sections so that you can choose to read it one page at a time or read it straight through in an afternoon. Take two hours out of your day and give this one a whirl.

BUY THIS. I am a bargain shopper, so I wait until the price gets closer to $40-$50. That said, I like this line quite a bit better than the M42s. They are a sooper nice fit, look great, and they have a more heavy-duty hem that I hope will withstand the typical grind of traipsing around on wet sidewalks & sloppy bar floors that leads to the eventual demise of my jeans.

I still love Goats though, despite their poor t-shirt vendor.

SKIP IT. I bought one of these as a gift a few years ago and everyone who touched the thing quickly grew tired of it. You have to "prime" the smoke chamber by holding the handle grip and then move your arm in a sort of forward sliding motion before your pull the trigger expelling an extremely weak ring of smoke. I had heard that someone mixed some catnip extract into the official smoke liquid and made a cat toy out of this, but I would suggest that you instead buy a couple packs of smokes and learn how to blow real smoke rings.

TRY THIS. I saw this product featured in Esquire about 18 months ago in a sort of "guide to shaving." I have extremely coarse facial hair that dulls my razors long before their time, so I do tend to knick and scratch my neck on a regular basis. This chaulky-looking stick is actually a mineral astringent that you moisten and apply to these small wounds like you would draw with a crayon. The stick stops the bleeding for good almost instantly. You have to use it for a bit to wear down the tip to an angle that doesn't "bite" at your cuts, but after a few weeks of use it will become a natural & welcomed part of your shaving routine.

BUY THIS. I am a window seat kind of guy. When it comes to air travel, I sit in coach, fly long distances, fly standby, and am almost always short on leg room. Finding some small comfort while traveling this way is important to me. I snared an official Cushtie brand pillow in preparation for a trip recently and was amazed. Now, I throw this thing vertically up against the window from the top of my shoulder up the side of my head and I can relax & fall asleep, no problem. I've tried both bean-filled & foam-filled neck wrap pillows and this thing beats those hands down, though I am not sure this barrel shaped pillow will work so well from the middle or aisle seat...

SKIP IT. My little brother has this flash drive. There are a couple of annoying things about it. The white slider glows in a really bright dark orange color. The glow is enough to light up a dark room. Worse yet, the U3 Smart Technology interface is overly cumbersome unless you definitely are intending to use this to transport software. If not, the U3 tech will just slow you down. The U3 software self-installs whenever it connects to a new machine, and is not compatible with Windows Vista.

I think these guys bring every bit of the talent and effort to back it up. You have to respect a guy's trash talk until you prove that you can stop him. This shirt in particular is a nod to one of the NFL's current, premier showmen, Mr. Ocho Cinco.

SKIP IT. Unlike a similar pair which I couldn't be happier with, when I initially got these via mail it immediately became obvious that they would be impossible to keep clean. Unlike typical Jordan shorts which use a material which gives off a slight sheen, these are comprised of some super absorbent "moisture-wicking" type of polyester. With all the dirt and sweat and sometimes even blood that you encounter on the court, these probably won't be your best option. I sent mine back for a refund.

The orange may put some people off, but IMHO the white/orange provides a good contrast paired with a dark colored shirt. Also, for those of us who tend toward the taller side, Jordan shorts are nice and long so they help make sure you won't look like Jackie Moon on the basketball court. These were a great deal on-sale at Eastbay.com for only $25.

It is marketed as a digital media center and includes a TV tuner and a Windows remote control. It includes a 320 GB Hard Drive with an expansion slot for a second high capacity SATA II drive and a digital optical output for 7.1 surround sound. The only drawback I can fathom is that the design incorporates an Intel motherboard with an integrated GPU and there are no HDMI inputs/outputs. Also, this has only the standard DVD drive and didn't come off the shelf with Blu-Ray compatibility. But may I remind you, considering what it does have this system is a steal at only $200!
