How could we not fall instantly in love with the Cordito , a beautiful crafted leather cord-tamer that looks and works a whole lot like a burrito? Well, we did. So we're excited to see two new cord wrangling products from the same clever…

Ever have that situation where you don't want to type a text and it would be easier to just leave a voicemail, but you don't exactly want to have to make a phone call either? (I know, we're so spoiled in this digital age). Well, here's t…

I gasped--literally gasped--when I came across this collection of totally outrageous cell phone cases. Pop culture junkies? Get get ready to click add to cart at Society 6. Replaceface gives new meaning to the word "hero," by taking the …

Every year we get excited to see what our friends at Think Geek are cooking up for Halloween. After all, geekery and Halloween go together like...well, like two things that go together so perfectly it's ridiculous. Nintendo fans will lov…

Checking out Fab today (use our invitation link if you're not yet a member) I'm definitely intrigued by the Crayo line of Watches , inspired by the rainbow spectrum of colors. But not by any particular line of crayons, of course, because…

I always love seeing the way companies are using technology to bring their online catalogs to life and one of my favorite design brands is jumping into the fray with some serous awesomeness for fall. Both technologically and otherwise. T…

Just this week I was getting the lowdown on Smart Lenses, something a lot of people were buzzing about at CES earlier this year. And now...voila. They're here, courtesy of our friends at Photojojo . And yes I am getting one. Because, wow…

I haven't really spent a lot of time on Scribd, the massive online digital documents library featuring all kinds of user-uploaded stuff. Mostly, it's known as a place to score free ebooks. But recently, I was looking for a set of free pr…

If you're a graphic designer, a photographer or a picky decorator, I'm excited about this new app that's designed to help you in an amazing new way. And not surprisingly, it's getting a ton of buzz. I think of it like Shazam , only for c…

If you write a blog, or are on any kind of social media, there's probably been a time that you wanted to publish a link to a site you didn't particularly like--maybe to complain about a negative brand experience, or alert people to a sca…

If you've ever played around at the social media and fashion community Polyvore (or uh, got stuck there until 3AM ahem) you'll be excited to see that they just launched a dedicated home category, just for decorating and home design inspi…

If like us, your kids have a ton of video game cartridges and discs because you haven't entirely made the move to digital downloads, storing them can be tough. I don't have a game room, and I don't necessarily want to look at 4 media she…

I have to love a product that is not only brilliant, but scores points for a super clever name, too. The ChargeCard USB charger (get it?) is credit card size, so you can carry one right in your wallet. Which is so much more compact and c…

To me, fall means organization. Not just around the house, but in a "let's get it together" kind of way for everything in my life. One of the things I'm committed to is taking a better look at budgeting, how I'm spending money, and where…

The emotions we feel as adults are so complex today, as they are each year on September 11. But as parents, we have the added burden of trying to explain it to our own children in an age-appropriate way, and to help them cope with it too…

Even though it came out before my time, I still remember a few leftover princess phones at the homes of friends. They always seemed so...pretty. And this is at a time that pretty was not a word ever used to describe technology. I'm thril…

It seems the more devices that I have on me, the more I'm scurrying to make sure I have all the right charging cords packed too. Between a camera, a charging case, an iPhone and a tablet, you can imagine, right? So a universal USBcable i…

How many times have you wanted to just grab a pen and scribble a note, but instead had to open up your iPhone to use the notepad app which, let's admit it, took so much longer? Here's an awesome solution: write it right on your iPhone. L…

Vinyl is back with a vengeance, which means it's getting even cooler to proclaim that no, really, you always preferred the sound to digital music unlike those other wannabes who only jumped on the bandwagon after Crosley came along. Love…

I've been using in-ear headphones more and more for phone calls lately, and I'm finding that what's good for listening to music isn't always ideal for chatting. Even if there's a built in mic. But I've really been liking a couple of opti…

We've featured a few ways to ID your gadget cords and keep (ahem) other members of the household for claiming them as your own. From a simple DIY craft project with Washi Tape to monogram decals , now there's one more idea: adorable stic…

Back in 2009, when Roku was just a Netflix streaming device, it was pretty forward-thinking. Still, it became obsolete fast as tech often does; the video quality wasn't fabulous, and over the next few years, streaming movies could be acc…

I still have that Giving Tree iPhone case bookmarked for purchase one day. There's something about the idea of wrapping a new-fangled phone in an old- fashioned book cover that makes me really happy. The only thing better: a case made of…

When I first installed Priceblink for my browser a few years back, I called it one of my top tech picks of the year . Since then, this amazing online price comparison tool has come a long way. And you'll definitely want to check it out, …
