Product Review: OULII Toilet Flush Lever Handle Universal Toilet Handle Replacement for Toilet Tank (Side Mount)

 

I got this to replace the part on my existing toilet that had rusted through. The one that I was sent did not have any holes to hook the chain onto, but I could hook the chain over the bar and then use duct tape to keep it in place. So, it is not exactly how it is supposed to work, but it gets the job done. The only reason I knocked it down to three stars is because of the quality control issue of letting a defective part get shipped out.

Product Review: Coolmax ES-300 Esata to USB Adapter

 

If you have an external eSata drive but have a laptop with just USB ports, this will do the job. My laptop was able to recognize the drive without a problem, and everything worked fine.

Product Review: MANGROOMER Do-It-Yourself Electric Back Hair Shaver

 

The best way to describe this is that it works well until it doesn't. The one I owned went through batteries like crazy, and eventually putting in new batteries would not power it. And, because it is made of cheap plastic, the hinge broke and got stuck in one position. Thankfully, it was in the open position so I could still use it until the battery thing made it non-functional, but it was not as easy to store like that. So, it worked as intended until it did not, so I would look for other options.

Workout Update: Chalean Extreme Day 15

Day 15 of CE was the third round of Burn Circuit 1. I could tell in this workout that I am getting appreciably stronger. I was able to max out at the 12 reps on most of the exercises, aside from the very last shoulder raise at the end. And, I was able to do two of the three ultra slow pushups (8-counts up and 8 counts down) at the end on my toes, and go all the way down so my chest touched the ground. I still had to do the last one on my knees, but I am making progress.  

Product Review: WD My DVR Expander 500 GB eSATA External Hard Drive

 

I purchased this hoping to be able to expand the storage capacity on my Tivo 2 DVR. Unfortunately, this does not work with that series (although it may work with later versions of the TiVo DVRs) so you definitely need to make sure this is compatible with what you are trying to hook it up to. You can use it as an external hard drive for a regular computer (you may need to format it), but it is pretty bulky and not something most people are likely to use these days as external drives are getting smaller and smaller.
