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 to…

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 doin…

My obsession with beautiful iPad cases coupled with my obsession for colorblock accessories is colliding full force, with the discovery of the line of gadget cases from a label better known for their designer leather handbags. The colorf…

Just this morning I spent a good five minutes untangling my earbuds which, by the way, were supposed to be tangle-free. So when I saw these cool gadgets on Fab this morning, I couldn't help but snatch a couple up. The cordctrl cord tamer…

While there's still this stereotype out there that moms are those people who call you to ask how to keep the VCR from flashing 12:00--and in fact still have a VCR in the first place--as we all know, moms are on the forefront of the tech …

When I opened the mysterious package that arrived for me this week, I was surprised to pull out a vintage hat box. Surprised and happy--since vintage hat boxes are one of my most favorite things. Inside, there was all this cool ephemera.…

Today on Earth Day many of us are taking this opportunity to talk to our kids about recycling and sustainability and turning off the lights. Or maybe they're talking to us--a group of six year olds informed me yesterday that it takes a j…

Something happened the day I switched from my ordinary but practical black laptop case to one a little more...me. I felt a little more me too. I figure since I pretty much carry my laptop every day, it makes sense to have a case that mak…

Since I just toss my laptop into my bag for on-the-go work sessions, a laptop sleeve is an absolute must. And I've got my eye on these stylish ones that just so happen to be eco-friendly too--right in time for Earth Day. The GreenSmart A…

With all the pretty iPhone cases we feature, I keep getting requests from my Blackberry-toting friends to find some covers for them as well. So leave it to CMP fave Jonathan Adler to design gorgeous cases that are perfectly sized for you…

I've seen my fair share of iPhone docks, and most of them are a little too bulky for my taste and my limited desk space. So as I was doing my weekly scan of Kickstarter (love them), I was so excited to find this new gadget that is exactl…

As great as the e-ink technology is for outdoor and daylight reading, you can't read it in the dark. Which is what my husband rather unfortunately discovered the first time he tried to read his new Kindle in bed. Well now with Barnes & N…

Now that you Android users can enjoy an Instagram obsession like me, the next thing you'll find yourself wanting to do is to display your photos on something other than your smart phone screen. So aside from all the cool ways you can pri…

If your family is anything like mine, a vacation means loading up all the tech gadgets to keep the troops entertained for the long trip ahead. With a pilot in the house, we do much more flying than driving, which can make things a little…

I'm a music lover. So it comes as no surprise that my kids dig their own crazy cool tunes. To be honest, I've shied away from kids' headphones because of real fears about child hearing loss. In fact, years of Walkman, Discman, iPod liste…

I'm definitely an old school gamer who spent way too many hours during college with my butt on a couch and my hand firmly grasped around a controller developing sore thumbs. I love how far video games have come since then, as demonstrate…

These boots were not made for walking. Or running, kicking, moshing, stomping, or reliving your misspent youth for that matter. These Doc Marten Boots are just 2" tall and actually, they're made for digital storage. These 2" tall black b…

With Instagram finally available to Android users and now getting snatched up for 1 billion dollars by Facebook (whoa!), it seems like soon everyone will be on our beloved photo sharing app--aw Instagram, we can say we knew you when. So …
