Only 2 of these things are similar, the 3rd item isn't even in the same category... but it does move. Anyone care to guess what these items might be? ;o) </p> I would have to agree that the week of just Bluetooth headsets and then this current week of mostly flashlight reviews can get boring for some people.

A particular theme may not be of much interest to me and you'd loose me for the week in that case. So, no, I don't care much for themes.</p> I like the variety of seeing totally different things throughout the week.

What would help is if you set it off properly with a list of what you'll be reviewing. Pretty much what you did for the bluetooth headsets if I remember correctly. A simple comparison table at the end of the thematic review would help. My $0.02.</p> Likewise. What would help is if you set it off properly with a list of what you’ll be reviewing.

Sure, during the Bluetooth week I would have liked to see something more exciting, but it doesn't bother me. I'll still visit every time my RSS reader flashes :-)</p> I have to say the theme reviews don’t really bother me much.
