Server Moves and Prez Reviews

As you might have noticed, we’ve been having some uptime issues the past few days but fear not we’re currently in the process of moving to bigger, better, faster servers. A few of our sites are already up and running on the new servers with much improved speed and stability. Also, we should have reviews [...]

John McCain: The Misguided Maverick

Watching that interview, I thought there’s no way this guy will ever become a Republican presidential candidate, he’s just not evil enough. Though he was getting schooled by a comedian I thought that hey at least John McCain would be better than Rudy “9/11 9/11 9/11″ Guiliani or Mitt “I’m Rich B*tch” Romney

OTIBR Reviews the Presidential Candidates

With the 2008 USA elections a little over a week away, OTIBR is proud to announce that this week we’ll review every presidential candidate and their vice-presidential nominee. Subscribe to our daily feed to make sure you catch every review!

Kashi Mediterranean Pizza

It’s crust for one is near perfect, as normal cooking time gets it crispy but still soft enough. The flax seed whole grain crust is very tasty too and filling. The vegetable toppings are hefty and frozen while fresh to help preserve as much flavor as possible.

Scoring Now Rounded

You may have noticed that our past few reviews now use a rounded whole number for the final percentage score. Looking back on it, leaving the trailing digit was a case of too much information. We now round to the closest whole digit.

Amy’s Soy Cheeze Pizza

While I commend Amy’s for their effort in taking the cheese out of cheese pizza, their soy based cheeze just does not compare to the real deal. The soy simply did not melt and instead either burned into a crisp or just stayed in its un-melted form.

Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino

I’ve had the vanilla and coffee versions of this drink before and they simply do not compare to the grand Mocha flavored concoction. Make sure you shake the bottle to arouse the delicious chocolate powder that’s settled on the floor of the coffee ocean contained inside the bottle (OK I got a bit carried away there).

Hansen’s Mandarin Lime Soda

It’s very, very tasty. I’ll admit, I’ve gone on somewhat of a bender on these sodas, as I’ve always loved orange soda and the Mandarin-Lime taste is quite appealing to me. The ingredients are all natural, which is refreshing for a soda. In fact, this orange soda is not even orange!

Consider our review of Bikes not Bombs as our unofficial contribution for Blog Action Day 2008. We look at Bikes not Bombs as an ideal model for organizations to follow and as such have awarded [...]

Bikes Not Bombs: The Bombest Bike Shop in Boston

In a city littered with bicycle shops, Bikes not Bombs truly stands out as a role model for bicycle shops, bicyclists, citizens, local communities and really, the whole city.
