If you have a thing for Japanese design (and really, doesn't everyone these days?) I think I have found Mecca. Or Mecca East. This shop not only carries everything and anything in doodads, gadgets, and awesome little need-to-haves, you c…
I love the idea of handmade gadget cases. It seems so yin/yang to merge the soft with the hard, the hand-stitched with the backlit. These little leather gadget pods totally make me happy. While they're made for anything roughly iPhone si…
There's nothing that irks me more than seeing someone driving on the highway fumbling around with their phone trying to send a text message or look something up. It's more than irking though, it's dangerous. Hey, I've got kids in the car…
Now that I'm about to get my hands on a shiny new iPad2 (yay!) I've been on the lookout for cool new accessories for my tablet, like the PadPivot that I saw on crowd-funding site Kickstarter a little while back. Now Kickstarter has intro…
If you were one of the lucky ones to snag an iPad 2 before it disappeared from all inventory sources around the globe, congratulations! Hopefully you're protecting your investment with a nice cover. You may have opted for the nifty magne…
So I finally got my hands on an iPhone 4, and I'm totally enamored with it. Problem is, I've been so overwhelmed by all the case choices out there that my iPhone is still bare naked. But when I got a peek at the incredible cases from Thi…
If you made my kids narrow down to the two things they think are really cool about technology, they'd come up with: 1. Making really goofy videos of themselves, and 2. Angry Birds. Yeah, I'd have to agree, though I bet I have more people…
These days, I've taken to sporting pictures of my kids both in and on my gadgets. I get crazy compliments every time someone sees my DIY photo iPhone cover featuring my youngest baby, so you can bet I was curious to try out a new service…
When you're a parent, taming the cords that pile up around the house isn't just a matter of aesthetics, it's a matter of safety. Now there's a new power strip that takes both into consideration. The new Power Pod is a beautiful outlet so…
Do you have any ideas for a nice looking backpack purse? (I'm on crutches for the next month or so--great excuse for another purse, right?) Need something large enough to fit the laptop in, but also versatile enough to throw in a diaper …
Now that it's getting to where can crack our window to let in some fresh air without freezing us all out, I am in full scale spring cleaning/redecorating mode. Even my old MacBook is feeling a little dowdy these days--which only has a li…
Do you change your laptop bag with the change of seasons? I happen to tote my MacBook everywhere, which means I'm increasingly less satisfied with the big, black, clunky case I've been living with all winter. Especially now that spring i…
There are a quite a few phrases I never thought I'd utter in my lifetime. "Please don't put that in your sister's underwear" and "I'm unfollowing Charlie Sheen" top the list this week. Another to add to the list: "Designer flash drive." …
With the iPad 2 out now, I'm seeing a renewed interest in iPad accessories popping up everywhere. iPads taking over the world! When I stumbled upon this handmade case on Etsy, I said to myself, wow. The handmade iPad case is pretty much …
We've been a fan of the eco-friendly, handmade bags from Queen Bee Creations since waaaay back, and we've been eagerly following creator Rebecca Pearcy's designs since then. So how perfect is it that she's launching a new collection that…
Put kids and gadgets together and it can be pretty risky business. Whether it's a potential sippy cup leak in my purse or a tumble on the hardwood floors in my kitchen, I'm more than a little worried when I let my kids play on my iPhone …
As cool as our Samsung Galaxy tablet is, I can't help but wish I had an extra hand to prop it up when I'm trying to follow a recipe off a website or scrolling Twitter while we watch a movie together. Hey, I like two hands for popcorn, th…
I come by my love all things kawaii starting with Hello Kitty back in the 1970s. And while I realize I'm too mature now (cough) to deck myself out entirely in Japanese pop-art accessories, a little cuteness keeps the stuffy out of being …
Ever since my kids got their very own MP3 players, they've become heavily music-dependent. Lots of times I'm okay with that, but I'm certainly not going to let them sleep with headphones on. And neither do I want to be listening to battl…
Most parents would agree that with each progressive child that enters a family, parenting gets a little more lax. (Watch as the three second rule becomes the 20 second rule.) The one area that has remained unchanged in our household, tho…
If the holidays were super-good to you and you're a proud new owner of an iPad or iPhone, chances are that you're probably looking for a sleek new case to protect your sacred new tech toy. Well look no further--we've found a few gorgeous…
As I was looking around the website Quirky , I kept using words like Genius ! and Awesome ! This web site helps people develop and produce super interesting product ideas. And better--lets those of us who simply appreciate super interest…
I'm one of those moms who could reallllly use one of those purse organizers and would get one then never actually use it; mostly because they contain a set number of pockets of specific sizes, which just doesn't fly for this free spirit.…
The klutz that I am, a camera strap is an absolute must-have, particularly when it comes to my extra special fancy DSLR. However, I'm not so keen on being an advertisement for it, and I've been scouring Etsy to find something a little co…
