Your iPhone now has a B side
I'm as addicted to Spotify, Pandora, and iTunes as everyone else, but the teenage girl in me still gets all swoony over the thought of a mix tape. Remember what it was like, holding that plastic rectangle of dreams for the first time and decoding every message your...
What’s better than Craig’s List? How about Emma.
The last time I searched Craigslist was a while back when I suddenly had an urge to find a free (or cheap) piano for the living room. I have to admit, the pages upon pages of listings, the text-laden interface (even if they did remind me of those good old early email...
Smartr makes your overwhelming contact list a whole lot (yep) smarter.
I remember the day I got my fancy new iPhone. And I also remember the day that I tried to go into my phone's contacts to make my first phone call. There before me was a list of contacts that seemed to include the name of every person I'd ever emailed, seven...
Finally, quarters are useful again
Sadly, a single quarter is kind of useless these days, save for 10 measly minutes on a parking meter. But thanks to technology and smart design, a quarter is now super useful. Even your iPhone is sitting up to take notice. When I saw the Coin 4 iPhone case case I was...
Tiny Tiger and Friends App
My older sons are well-versed in the world of iPhone games -- they're lifesaving when I need them to be quiet in in waiting rooms and during long flights -- but my two and half year old usually gets left behind. It's fine by me, because he's practically a baby still...
Piquing our Geek — LunaTik Touch Pen Alloy

GoPro — For extreme sport enthusiasts. AKA parents.
A couple of weeks ago, I was invited on a trip of a lifetime: To travel to Alaska to see the Aurora Borealis with a research team from GoPro, a family-run business that's grown massively in just a few years. Before this trip, I wasn't too familiar with GoPro and their...

3 reasons the MacBook Air is perfect for moms
After lugging my gigantic MacBook Pro around with me around town for work, and then on a few business trips, I decided that it might be time to look at something smaller. I own several netbooks, but unless I'm just checking email or doing light word processing, they...

Peter Pan comes to life on your iPad, and we’re Hooked. (Ha)
My three-year-old is a newly minted Peter Pan groupie. I assume she's not the only one, which is why this new Peter Pan app has her absolutely, well, hooked, and I have to admit, I'm pretty into this e-book/app hybrid too. The Peter Pan: Disney Classics app for iPhone...
Who you gonna call?
I used to spend hours wearing a path in the carpet and talking on our wall-anchored telephone. And though my tween daughter will be less, er, tethered when she finally gets her own phone, I know she will probably follow in my chatty footsteps. Still, I've heard those...

How does Google Drive stack up against other cloud storage services?
If you access your Google Docs account in the coming days and see changes, it's because Google Drive has launched. Google Drive has nothing to do with smart cars or Google-enabled dashboards (though that may not be too far off), but rather, it's a cloud storage system...
What do your Facebook updates say about you? Intel has a cool way to find out–plus a $500 gift card giveaway!
As a frequent social media user (who isn't these days?), I've often wondered about what all my tweets, posts, and status updates say about me. Personally, I'm hoping mine would be summed up with "fun, smart, and obsessed with Ryan Reynolds" but it turns out that's not...
