Eton Emergency Radio
For under fifty dollars, I purchased that new Eton Emergency Radio. It is one of the coolest things I have ever seen! It has a signaling flashlight, and a siren that can be utilized in the event of an emergency. Still, the coolest part that I came …
The Chronicle Herald .ca
Halifax’s local newspaper is offered online as well at www.thechronicleherald.ca. I personally opt to visit this site daily, as I prefer the neat and tidy web surfing to flipping through the large, bulky paper that makes a mess on my hands and desk.
I do enjoy this site for its …

I am a huge fan of R&B, Hip Hop, and Old School Music. Living in Los Angeles, I have found the perfect radio station that best suits my needs and that is 102.3 KJLH. With KJLH, they value the community much more than other radio stations. They care about …
Ramparts Magazine
Ramparts Magazine is a tough item to review because it ceased publication over 30 years ago! However, since it is still available via Ebay, I figured I would write a quick review on the magazine. Ramparts was a publication of the New left of the 1960’s and centered on …

Doo Gro Mega Thick Hair (magazine ad)
This is perhaps the most aggressive yet generic ad I have ever seen for a hair care product. Doo Gro has been around for a little while. But I don’t think I have ever used it. Personally, I find the title of the product …
KYMX - 96.1
Radio stations come and go with the decades and certainly in this day and age, more attention is given to playing company favorites than fan favorites, and that frustrates me. After listening to country music for a few years and becoming totally disenchanted with its same repetitive tracks, …

Ryan Porter (MSN.com Journalist)
I usually enjoy reading the news that is linked on MSN.com, and mostly find the articles informative, entertaining, interesting and the perfect length to stimulate the mind on those hum-drum days at work. HOWEVER, this particular reporter never ceases to amaze me.

Design For Humanity by Billa Bong (magazine ad)
I don’t think I have ever heard of Billa Bong. It sounds like a really funky clothing line. And I see that there is a model on the page wearing an array of bathing suits. The suits are very vintage looking and are nowhere near that …
