The new Keepsy app: print photo books right from your smart phone
It's no secret that I take nearly all my photos with my iPhone, which means in order for me turn my favorite pictures into anything but a file on my computer (that no one really ever sees but me) it takes a lot of extra steps and a lot of time that I don't have. A...

Flash Cards for techies, design nerds, and other types due to conquer the world any minute
I remember an entire six years ago (whoa) when we discovered this set of Nerdy Baby alphabet flashcards. At the time, there was nothing like them. I mean, who thought of M as anything but Monkey or maybe, if the set was really inventive, Maraccas. But Mandelbrot...
