Review requests

In: Personal| Technology & Gadgets

6 Jul 2008

Well, I’ve purchased/borrowed a number of gadgets and toys in the last year or so that I HAVEN’T reviewed, so I thought I’d list them, and see if anyone wanted me to review any specific items (comment below with which item you want reviewed):

Portal review

22 Mar 2008

In a previous post, I said I would write a Portal review, so here it is (I played it about 2 months ago, for reference).

Many folks know I’m an extreme coffee fan, so I thought I’d review the various super-automatic espresso machines I’ve had or tried since 2003.

Resistance: Fall of Man review

In: Personal

26 Dec 2007

Awesome game. Great plot, extremely long play (for me, maybe 30 hours at Hard level). I actually played it last Christmas with the PS3 I “won” the right to buy on Amazon, but just put this review up because I finished Halo 3.

Halo 3 review

In: Personal

26 Dec 2007

Finally played through Halo 3 at Heroic (started at Legendary, got stuck, changed to Heroic).

Here’s my brief review. It’s fun, and plays well. At Heroic, it took me about 20 hours to play through.

BMW 335xi review

In: Personal

15 Dec 2007

I got my new car at the beginning of November, it’s one of the first 2008s to come on the line in Munich. Here’s some of my thoughts on this vehicle. I got the lighter blue (monaco) outside, light tan and walnut interior, and premium, winter, as well as HD radio, USB/iPod and satellite radio [...]

Blackberry Curve 8310 review

In: Technology & Gadgets

21 Oct 2007

My new phone (unfortunately, the red one, I wanted the silver one: They’ll swap it out when the titanium/silver one is available) came into the Boulder AT&T store on Tuesday. I called the AT&T main number and visited the website but neither gave any indication that the phone even existed. I paid $150 after [...]

Infrant ReadyNAS NV review

In: Technology & Gadgets

31 Mar 2007

This is a review of the Infrant ReadyNAS NV, not their newer NV+ (featuring quieter operation and an LCD display). This review was written by request (yup, Jason G., I’m talking about you).

Out of the box, this is my favorite computer hardware. I bought a diskless ReadyNAS NV for around $663 including shipping (from NewEgg.com) [...]

Roku M500 review

In: Technology & Gadgets

11 Feb 2007

This review is a little late coming, but here goes. I am on my third (yes) M500 after replacing two previous ones. The Roku M500 is a streaming audio box that allows you to stream internet radio, music from a NAS box, computer, iTunes, etc. It comes with a nice remote and it has a [...]

Xbox Media Center

In: Technology & Gadgets

13 Nov 2006

Kind of kicking myself for not having done this early, but I soft-modded my Xbox (using MechAssault), and installed the XBMC 2.0.0 package this weekend. With a 0.0 build, it’s a bit buggy, but for the mere cost of an Action Replay 8MB memory card and a $2.29 used copy of MechAssault from [...]
