Ticketmaster gets social with Facebook, and the circus just got a lot more fun.
I'm embarrassed to admit that the last rock concert I went to was Coldplay at the Meadowlands Arena...in 2005. Clearly it's time for me to get back into the live concert circuit. If it's music you like, or theater or professional sports, or hey--even just the circus...
The best of the Steve Jobs tributes
With the not entirely shocking news that Steve Jobs is stepping down as the CEO Apple, we've been captivated by the number of thoughtful and often moving articles, blog posts, and opinion pieces about the legacy he has left. It's clear that is a man who has not only...
Mophie is a real (battery) life saver
If you've ever uttered the words, "my battery is about to die if we get cut off..." then this is for you, mamas. I have no idea why it took me so long to come around on the portable phone charger thing. But it did. And now that that era has come to an end, I have...
Skype WiFi? Finally, there’s an app for that.
You know that you've truly made it to A-list status in the tech world, when your company becomes its own verb. Think Google, Facebook and Skype. We all know by now that Skype is an amazing tool that anyone can quickly pick up. Even my less-than-tech savvy...
Let there be light, to power my keyboard
Covering technology, I come across my fair share of cool products. Some I value for their aesthetic value, others for their function, and then there are the unique ones that combine the best of both worlds. My latest discovery fits perfectly into this category and not...
Fee! Fie! Foe! Fum! This new ebook has giant appeal.
Though I was raised on the original Brothers Grimm stories, which are pretty dark, I was always a little more scared of the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. The whole I smell the blood of an Englishman boomed by a big hairy giant? Yeesh. But now we're having so much...
Dads Dig This – 3 reasons to love iMovie for iPhone
Welcome Dads Dig This guest blogger Andy Hinds, a stay-at-home dad to twin girls and author of Beta Dad. I used to think I could have been a great filmmaker, the only things standing between me and a brilliant directing career being my utter technical incompetence and...
One way to set the baby to “sleep”
When our first baby got to the age where she started skipping the occasional nap, I dreamed of the day there was a real button to press that would automatically turn noontime into naptime. I was, uh, a little delirious. Real nap apps may be far off in the future, but...
Ear phones that actually stay in? Yes! It’s possible!
Whenever I'm out on a run and fellow joggers pass me with their Apple earphones snug nicely into their ears, I want to stop them and see how they get them to stay in. I must have some weird kind of ear construction because that type of earphone has never stayed in my...
Netflix just made choosing kids movies a little easier
My kids are getting old enough now where they have the ability to sit through full-length movies. We've gone through the phase of those pleasant 60-minute "movies" on On Demand, but I think we're ready to step it up. Since I'm on a kids' movie kick, I was excited to...

Kids’ music download of the week: My Flea has Dogs
Picking out my favorite song from Caspar Babypants' brand-new CD, Sing Along!, is like asking me what my favorite donut is: They are all just so goooooood. But, there is one song that I keep coming to over and over (and over) again, for its rapid-fire, silly and...
Nom nom nom nom nom…apples
Remember that sad, sad Sesame Street season that bowed down to political correctness and had old Cookie Monster eschewing cookies as a "sometimes food" in favor of healthy stuff? Bah to that, I say. Still, I can't help it -- I'm cracking up at this Cookie Monster...
When are Macs budget friendly? When they’re part of Apple’s recycling program
Back to school in our house means not only buying new school supplies, but also checking to make sure our home technology can handle the new school year. Fortunately, all our tech made the cut, but if I decided to replace my video-editing tween son's 3 year old...
3 cute camera cases to make things cozy for your point-and-shoot
Even though my main camera in the past year has been my iPhone, I have a snazzy compact digital camera that has been greatly neglected. I've decided to resurrect it to give me more photo-taking options, but of course, making that decision means that I have to get a...
Got ten minutes in the carpool line? How about catching up on 30 Rock.
There are many instances when I find myself in the car waiting for something -- for a practice to end, for a napping kid to wake up -- and have idle time. It's in these moments that I forgo checking email on my iPhone and opt instead for a game. But I just found out...
Made for a woman, but strong enough for a man
Since becoming a parent, I've come to learn that nothing is ever just mine, except when it comes to this hilarious flash drive. Yep, I'm pretty sure no one else in my family will want any part of this. No need to do a double take. That tampon flash drive is what you...

We've heard people rave about Evernote as a fantastic, free way to save inspiration and ideas and access them from anywhere - computer, phone, or your favorite mobile device. But when we asked our go-to help desk, our Twitter followers and Facebook fans, we were...
Turning your iPhone camera into a much better camera
My iPhone doubles as my camera. It's why I have so many photo apps -- my iPhone is almost always in my hand whenever the kids do something cute (and even not-so-cute). The digital camera? Honestly couldn't even tell you where that thing is right now. Just a few...
Whoooo’s got your iPhone?
I've got more iPhone cases than I should probably admit, but protective gadget sleeves seem like such a smart tech accessory. Particularly in my case where I've got my phone floating around in a gigantic mom bag full of not-so-phone-friendly goodies. That's why this...

OMG, u can save $$ on txts w/Textfree
Every time I get my AT&T bill, I brace myself for the additional charges I may have accrued from my month-long thumb frenzy with friends. Sure, I have a number of free texts built into my plan, but I do text a lot and even the short texts like, "Can't wait!" or...
FastCustomer – Never wait on hold again
