You get your opportunity to share you views in the Bonus Essays section. Now I get my chance. Here's my growing list of what's good or bad, what's cool and hot, or dead and not. I don't get paid to write any of these reviews, so this is the unvarnished truth as I see it.

• XM Radio hits the airwaves
• Fanz Enterprises drives off
• Land's End in the deep end
• The Real Vanilla Thing?
• Manly Make-up a slap in the face
• VHS R.I.P.
