rainy31 says "NICE!!!!!!!" about The Simpsons Movie

rainy31 — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 21:11:15 GMT

At just under and 1 hour and 30 minutes, I did find The Simpsons a little too long for the content and storyline. That said, it was generally funny, with the usual political quips we've come to expect from Matt Groening. I wouldn't class myself as a fan, but I have found previous episodes of The Simpsons hilarious, and each time I've watched one i've been impressed with the level of humour and the fact that the producers aren't scared to draw humour from delicate subject matter. Overall, an enjoyable movie,but I think it's a safer bet to confine the residents of Springfield to their TV roots.

rainy31 says "ITS SONY" about Sony VAIO® FZ140E/B PC Notebook

The Sony FZ-140, 150, and 160 are nice light machines with a really pretty LCD panel, but lack a number of features that should be included for the premium price and between Vista, Intel, and Sony have a number of buggy features. A star off for the price/performance issue and a star off for the bugs, so 3 stars overall.

My friend has a FZ150E with a T7300 and a 160 GB hard drive and Vista Home Premium; besides the choice of processor, hard drive, and OS the difference between these three models is very slight. The 140 has a T7100 processor and the 160 a slightly larger but slower drive. Other than that, they all have the same features: 2 GB of RAM, the Intel X3100 graphics card, a DVD-RW drive, and similar inputs, outputs and controls.

It's a true, light laptop at just over 5 lbs, but despite that the gorgeous 15.4" widescreen LCD is oversized for a laptop this small and shows Sony learned something from making LCD HDTVs. Setup is reasonably brainless, and while Sony did include a bunch...

rainy31 says "Different in looks and quality" about Chemex CM-8A 8-Cup Coffee Maker

rainy31 — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 20:56:24 GMT

The Chemex Coffee Maker is essentially a heat-resistant glass flask. It is vaguely reminiscent of a Chemistry beaker, except that the neck widens out to form a cone to hold the paper filter. The flask has a vertical groove on one side that forms the pour spout, and a small dimple directly below that helps provide a reference for measuring water. The flask comes with a wooden collar, affixed with a leather lace around the narrow portion of the flask's neck, that serves as a stay-cool handle during use.

The Chemex company produces paper filters, bleached or unbleached, in boxes of 100. Each filter is made from specially formulated paper, thicker than the conventional Auto-drip filter, that is actually a folded circle(or square). I attribute the Chemex's great taste to their filters, so don't bother trying to make your own. I prefer the bleached filters, since the unbleached filters seemed to impart a "papery" aftertaste to the coffee....
