When you check your Facebook profile, do you have a notification that says "Who's Looking At My Profile" on the top left? If so, you're one of the lucky few to get a first look at the huge new Facebook Reveal feature--which is either a g…

Nearly against my will, I am charmed by this #adorbs baby onesie on Etsy from Labor of Love, a small shop out of San Francisco. It's just so....zeitgeist-y. The organic hashtag baby onesie is hand screen printed with the perfect message …

First it was owls. Then foxes. Hedgehogs are still hot to be sure, but mark our words, the sloth is the hot new creature du jour. Especially if these cool sloth iPhone cases (and cases for pretty much any other gadget) are any indication…

If you want to devote a whole 5 or 10 seconds and see your first tweet on Twitter, there's an easier way than scrolling back to the beginning. Visit Twitter's discover.twitter.com/first-tweet page just launched to celebrate their 8th bir…

In honor of St Patrick's Day, we've rounded up some very cool tech accessories in very cool shades of green. In fact, they'll look chic long after the green beer specials in your local tavern are mercifully gone. We recently featured the…

I am utterly taken with this website that features drawings of scientists by kids before and after meeting them. The seventh graders visited a Fermilab site, and it's amazing to see some of the changes. While some of the kids had a good …

So I'm aware there are actually splurgier tech accessories than this stunning Christian Louboutin iPad case but uh, did I mention it's stunning? And splurgy? And also stunning? Not that I expect to own this at any point my lifetime, so I…

Last night I was thrilled to join founder Anna Fader in celebrating the anniversary of Mommy Poppins , her terrific regional website network for parents looking for the best stuff to do with their kids. They've now been saving families (…

I love developments like the Roku apps which turn your Android or iOS devices into remote controls for your TV. We always joke about the old days when we actually had to get up to change a channel. Now that we're too lazy to even find th…

As a parent, one of my favorite discoveries at International CES this year was the sense of volume limiting headphones for kids that seem to be creeping into the market. It's been slow going--we discovered the Aerial 7 headphones close t…

I tried on a lot of headphones at International CES this year. A lot. And by far the ones that have stayed on my mind and at the top of my covet list me are the new Fanny Wang metal on-ear headphones which are designed with women in mind…

With the explosion of monthly subscription boxes , we've gotten uber picky about the ones we recommend. Especially subscription boxes for kids, since no one wants to give a lame birthday gift. Worth a look: the brand new Appleseed Lane m…

With the tremendous success of the Frozen movie, it's no surprise that the massive Disney merchandising arm has included an app to go with it: The Frozen Free Fall game . If you're tired of your kids stealing your Candy Crush app (that's…

As much as we joke about permanent Lego block indents in the soles our feet, we're all big Lego fans around here. And with the success of The Lego Movie , here comes the merchandising! Not that I'm complaining. I would totally love a Wyl…

I will admit that I was reluctant to stick headphones on my kids for a long time, even the safe headphones. But now that my youngest is 6, and insists on listening to the Frozen soundtrack during every waking moment, I really need a pair…

I've been toting around a Marc Jacobs neoprene laptop sleeve for a while that I got as a gift. While I like the hot pink, there's something about the new gray one that makes me want to trade mine in. What can I say, I'm a New Yorker. I g…

Way back when, we discovered the VIOlife toothbrush sanitizers , which are the cutest tool for killing toothbrush germs ever. While there are some designs suitable for adults, we kind of like the fun ones made for kids--or adults who act…

In light of this week's big news about the Apple Security Breach , a reader of ours (and probably many of you) are wondering how to make Chrome the default browser for iPhone and iPad, in lieu of Safari. Especially because at this time, …

I love my Roku 3 . Love. I've tried Apple TV and like it just fine. But hey, I'm all for more choices for streaming video content, and if Amazon comes out with a TV box as predicted, then I hope it's as good or better than anything else …

If you're an Amazon Prime member, then you might be wondering how to borrow a book from the Kindle library--one of the excellent benefits you get with your membership. Now granted they're probably not all books you actually want to read …

I recently saw photos of myself from a party in which I had my phone in my hand in every shot. Blergh. It's not that I was texting the whole time--just that I didn't want to carry much more than a phone, and I had no pockets on me.So whe…

As much as I love real live, hold them in your hands, save them forever and ever Valentine's Day cards, there are a few reasons I love the digital Valentine eCards from Paperless Post. First, these are not those awful ecards you remember…

I've been predicting for a while now that soon, every home will be equipped with USB electrical outlets. It's clear that our tech is moving in that direction, with more and more gadgets charging via USB instead of traditional 15 amp plug…

It's been a while since we've found swanky USB jewelry worth a mention, so it's nice to come across By Nordvik on Etsy, which makes pretty great looking flash drive bracelets and necklaces out of Copenhagen--where, let's face it, all the…
