The new 1 to 10 – hallelujah, holy shit

On a scale of 1 to 10, I’m excited about the new blog.
(And BTW – the title of this post?  That’s a paraphrase from National Lampoon’s Vacation.  Clark Griswold says something along the lines of: “I can’t believe it.  I’m on a pilgrimage to see a moose.  Praise Marty Moose!  Hallelujah, holy shit!”)

I froze.

My Review: 1
I froze. How totally, terribly, embarrassing.  Don’t let this happen to you.

Think about what you’re going to say before the camera starts rolling.  For this, I get a 1 out of 10.

A Review of My Swingline Stapler

My Review: 9
Real quick, let me just say: this is my 100th post.  Yay 1to10.  Ok, now on with the review.
I’ve had the same Swingline stapler for 8 years.  I bought it in 2000 with my expense account when I was selling drugs (read: pharmaceuticals.)  I decided to review my stapler for two reasons:

I love [...]

It’s OK To Cry Here

My Review: 10

OK, so maybe it’s biased to give your friend’s blog a high rating just because they’re your friend. But I don’t really care.  Shaan writes a cool blog, and you should read it. And then go watch the movie he recommended, because it sounds awesome.
Yum.

On A Scale Of 1 to 10

My Review: 10
My friend Allison (not my wife) likes to use the phrase “on a scale
of 1 to 10″ in unusual ways.  Rather than finishing the sentence with a
number (like 3 for instance) she’ll say something like: “on a scale of
1 to 10 that’s awesome.”  Or: “on a scale of 1 to 10  this sucks.”
I [...]

The Post-CES Flu

My Review: 1

On Thursday January 10th, driving from Las Vegas back to the San Francisco Bay Area, I felt my throat tightening and my energy level dropping. During the 8 and a half hour drive, I grew steadily more congested as well. When I finally reached home around 1:30 AM, I knew I was [...]

The Pacific Ocean: Part 2

My Review: 4

At last, the long awaited follow up to the earth shattering first post about the big blue. The Pacific Ocean. The largest body of water on earth.
This post is going to focus on a couple of the less savory aspects of the Pacific Ocean – subjectively speaking.
One thing I don’t love is [...]

Diane Rehm’s Slow & Warbling Voice

My Review: 2
Diane Rehm is the radio-program host of the “The Diane Rehm Show.” She hosts her program on WAMU through the American University in Washington D.C. The show is nationally syndicated on National Public Radio (NPR.)

I love NPR. But Diane Rehm is driving me frigging crazy. Everyone just gushes on and on about how [...]

Guitar Hero III for the PC

My Review: 5

I think Guitar Hero, the series of games from Red Octane, kicks motha-flippin’ ass. I love to rock out, it’s simple and fun. So I am not going to review Guitar Hero in general; everyone already knows that it rules.
Instead I am going to review, specifically, GH3 for the PC.
I don’t own [...]

MyShoeStore.com makes me want to vomit

My Review: 1

I am incredibly disappointed. I have a bone to pick and a forum from which to descry the ineptitude and irresponsibility which is www.myshoestore.com. To put it another way, they suck as badly as it is possible for an E-tail shoe store to suck. Al Bundy would be an improvement [...]
