Random Reviews

So we purchased a new PAS (Point-and-Shoot) digital camera, a Nikon CoolPix S600. I’m off to my sister’s wedding tomorrow and the camera will be in use the whole weekend so expect a full review soon. I’ve had it for a few days now and generally I have to say I’m very pleased so the review preview is that it doesn’t suck.

I’m expecting to try some Russian vodkas that I haven’t previously had and perhaps some different wines as well over the weekend so perhaps some interesting reviews in the food/beverage department as well.

Finally, I’ve also had my Samsung LN-T4671F for several months and will be writing a review of the television shortly, this will also be a doesn’t suck review but there are a few minor issues I’ll be raising. I’ll also discuss some of the other options out there for LCD TV’s and why I went with this particular model.

You can supposedly buy the seasoning from the Maui Culinary Academy (they make it) but their website is beyond horrible so I couldn’t find it to link for you. After the jump I stop yammering and get on with the wine review. Read more »

 As you know from my previous posts I am sick. I mentioned that the Zicam nasal gel didn’t do squat because it irritated my nose so much I basically stopped using it, and quite frankly it feels like it made things worse. I am now in the throws of what I would describe as one of the worst colds I have ever had. I am to the point where I am somewhat worried that I may actually have Ebola or the Bubonic Plague, I’ll probably need to take tomorrow off to go pick out a grave plot and headstone. Read more »
