• Commented on Herman Miller Embody: An Aeron for our current troubles
  I bought one from HermanMillerSeating.com as well and while they said they had it in stock BEFORE I clicked "Buy" -- now its back-ordered. Nice marketing, but I'm not seeing too many other options online. I'll leave the order open...

• Commented on Camera shop offers customer bribe to remove bad Amazon review
  @Nobody There were packing materials in the box. They were insufficient to stop the camera from freely sliding 4-5" in the box. Make what you will of that....
• Commented on Camera shop offers customer bribe to remove bad Amazon review
  @SYNTAXERR0R I called Cameta looking for "resolution" - I didn't really want any money back; I was just mad that I'd paid a lot for the shipping and they really didn't care about ensuring safe delivery. Heck, I'm the first...
• Commented on Camera shop offers customer bribe to remove bad Amazon review
  @JRTom -- As the guy who complained, I think your assessment is 100%. I was upset, I called, I got pushed around on the phone about why I was complaining; as many people here have noted if it got here...
• Commented on Camera shop offers customer bribe to remove bad Amazon review
  @syntaxERR0R -- I didn't get any money back. I have to remove my review, which is factually correct, in order to get my refund. I will not do this as I think its creepy. I called, they didn't offer to...
• Commented on Camera shop offers customer bribe to remove bad Amazon review
  @Michael A. Banks: It is a bribe and I will not take it. They do not "owe" me anything, what I ordered was delivered -- however my review is accurate to my experience. Offering me a refund ONLY if I...

• Commented on Sanyo Xacti DMX-CA8 water-proof to 10 feet, one third of the Flip Video Ultra underwater housing
  I paid $140 for the Flip Ultra. Total cost, all in was around $190 for the Flip and the UW case. The case will likely not implode, they tend to use the camera itself as part of the bracing for...

• Commented on Chavez to USA: "Shove your terror list"
  Thank you, William Randolph Hearst, for the quote in the headline that is not close to what Chavez actually said. "Take your little list and shove it in your pocket" is at the very least a touch more deferential than...
• Commented on Indie Nintendo DS Game About a Jewish Boy in Nazi France Pushes Buttons
  As someone who is super sensitive to how the holocaust is portrayed in the news and in general, from the POV of a Jewish American who has seen the impact it had on his family tree -- I can safely...
• Commented on Disneyland's plans to change It's a Small World ires fans
  I love Disneyland. That said, Its a Small World is old, run down and letting it sit and rot doesn't keep with the Disney ethos either. A refresh doesn't bother me at all nor does an America section. Why is...
• Commented on Heat-Sensitive Hot/Cold Mug
  I remember when I saw my first mug like this. I believe I was the late 70s. I spent a lot of time pouring hot water into it, watching it change, emptying it and them putting it in the freezer...
• Commented on Eton FR1000 Crank Radio with Walkie-Talkie
  I love my Eton RedCross edition water resistant crank radio. We used it for 14+ hours during the last big NorCal power outage. I had some cheap ass one before and decided after the last major outage to get the...

• Commented on The Lingering Typewriter
  I have, many times, had to search for replacement ribbons for my typewriters. I've found there is some adding machine tape at Office Depot that is almost the same as the ribbon for the smith-corona I like to use, so...

  Wow. Two of my favorite media personalities in one place! I'm a huge fan of Doug and his business-partners Carl and Jim's work. I'm thrilled you guys have hooked up for this project -- I'm a fan of OpenRoad.tv and...
