Dads Dig This – Uniden Walkie Talkies
We love this Dads Dig This pick from Jim Lin, father of two and author of The Busy Dad Blog. When it comes to gadgets related to my life as a dad, don't give me the latest and greatest. I want the hardest to break and the easiest to replace. Because while there's a...
Kizoa – Making slideshows out of nothing at all.
I have so many photos of my kids in so many places. My laptop, my desktop, my back-up hard drive, my phone, in the cloud...well, you get the gist. They usually just sit in their respective places and take up storage space, but every once in a blue moon, I dedicate...
Skype for Mac
I really haven't been a big Skype user. I've tried it out from a friend's Mac, and while it definitely worked well, I didn't find it as user friendly as it could have been in comparison with some other chat services I've tried. But now with Skype 5.0 for Mac, fresh...
I love you more than Leia loves Han
The language of geek love? It ain't French, that's for sure. And no one has ever accused Klingon of sounding sappy. No, dear friends, the language of geek love is Galactic Basic, and it makes for a stunning Valentine. Even if you're not the world's biggest Star Wars...

Protecting your iPad screen. And probably, your sanity.
Anyone else get a shiny new iPad and then realize that all the little, greasy fingers in the family will also be sharing your new prized possession? (We tried to warn you!) I initially tried to fight my type A "don't touch that" tendencies and let my three boys have...
QR Code cufflinks are 2011’s secret love letter
One of the hot trends in custom jewelry has been engraving or etching a message in a less obvious way. Like with braille letters, or Japanese characters. So it was only a matter of time before someone brilliant discovered how to put QR codes on jewelry. I'm not...
The HP TouchSmart 610: Swivel it, just a little bit
Like so many other families, maybe even yours, I use a web 2.0 time management strategy and put my family calendars and documents online. Forget printing; how great would it be to have a kitchen or family room desktop for displaying our shared calendar, checking out...
It’s Safer Internet Day. Do you know where your children are surfing?
We're all about Internet safety for our kids, although I know that's a little like saying we're all for world peace. It's a given when you're a parent. Well today happens to be Safer Internet Day and while my kids are still too young to be bookmarking NPR and...
Who gloves you, baby?
Nothing says I love you like, "here's a new upgraded router honey!" Ah, I kid. In truth, there are plenty of tech-centric gifts that might suit your love on Valentine's Day. Still, I'm a fan of the pretty and romantic, not the practical and the functional. Unless...

I don't know about where you are, but up here in Canada we get a lot of snow in the winter. And cold. A lot of cold. So the first thing I thought when I saw these new Summit 13 Macbook sleeves from iSkin was that they remind me of a ski jacket. In a good way. Look at...

Sorry, Mario, but your Princess needs some bling.
A decade before we fell in love, my honey and I were 3 hours apart, planted in front of 20 inch televisions, blissed out on Mario. When I was pregnant with my first kid, we bought a refurbished Nintendo and fell in love all over again as we saved the Princess...

Keychain camera: A mom’s best photo taking friend
Thanks to my iPhone 4, I've been able to take waaaay more photos and videos of my four kids than ever before. But using my phone as my sole camera has its downsides too, like when I actually need to use the phone. That's why I'm thinking the Clover digital camera...

Because power is an aphrodisiac
Buying Valentine's gifts for women is kind of a no-brainer. Romantic and feminine are a natural match. But it's pretty tough to find a definitively masculine Valentine's gift that's still got that "awwww..." factor. So I'm totally swooning over these power icon...

The future of tablets: Not just iPads
