Have you ever noticed how... absorbent the web can be? You just open Twitter or Pinterest for a few seconds, and suddenly information and interesting things are just gushing everywhere. Before you have one of those not-so-fresh, overload…

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…

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 a…

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 t…

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-frie…

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 …

We're thrilled to welcome Jason Avant, founder and managing editor of DadCentric.com , as today's Dad Dig This guest blogger. When it was announced that Apple would be producing a tablet, many of my friends and colleagues were practicall…

The inconvenience of having my wallet stolen a couple of weeks ago was tripled when I had to call all my credit card companies and waste way too much time sitting on hold waiting to talk to a real person. Too bad I didn't have this fanta…

Our readers are often the source of the coolest finds, like this one -- a fantastic little self-funded website that allows young children to create, imagine, and play without the help of a single TV character. Click around the whimsical …

In case you missed them, here are some of our favorite picks from last week. 1. Keep your photos, your spreadsheets, even the Oxford English Dictionary near your heart with this beautiful and clever USB locket . 2. Our Dads Dig This pick…

After having just uploaded oh...hundreds of photos from my camera after the BlogHer conference (give me one mojito and suddenly everything looks like a good picture) I can't sing the praises of the Eye-Fi wireless memory cards enough. Es…

I've seen my fair share of iPad cases and sleeves, all of which tend to look like they're holding an iPad. But when I saw these beautiful, handmade sleeves, I actually had to look at the description before realizing what they were for. T…

Stumbling upon this adorable iPhone, iPod or iPod Touch case on Etsy, I thought it was be a sweet gift for a kid going back to school this year with tech in tow. Made by a Florida artist, it's a simple design with a Velcro closure to giv…

I am a proud new owner of a Sony Cybershot WX9 . Emphasis on the word proud . I cannot tell you how much I've loved rediscovering the joy of taking pictures again--the kind with actual pixels beyond what my iPhone 3 can offer. And I've l…

Jeremy Bernstein is a digital creative director at Deutsch Advertising in New York, so he's always up on the latest and coolest. He's also the father of two ridiculously cute kids. It's a common refrain in our home since we got an iPad a…

One of the exciting aspects of technology is that there's never just one way to use something. But given our limited time as busy parents, we never seem to have enough of it to dedicate to playing around with applications and gadgets to …

These days, any videos I catch of the kids is with my iPhone 4, which thankfully means I'm catching way more than I ever did before. But if you've filmed kids before, then you know that even the quick tab slide and tap that's required to…

I love necklaces and bags like the next girl, but if you also treat iPhone cases as accessories like I do, then your mind will also be blown when you see this amazing site I just discovered. Welcome to Society6 , an artist community that…

The smart folks at Percolate know hard it is to keep up with everything social media, as you Twitteraholics are well aware. There are news aggregators and news aggregator aggregators, and all manners of ways to help you sort your feeds a…

Around our place, slapstick will always have a happy home. We fondly refer to America's Funniest Videos as The Bonk Show (because of all the people who get bonked, of course) and when Wipeout first aired, we started calling it the Super …

My kids are squarely in the nightlight stage -- old enough to sleep alone, old enough to hit the bathroom themselves at 3 AM, but not beyond waking me up when they need to go anyway. So I definitely get excited when I find creative night…

It's no secret that we're huge fans of designer Jonathan Adler, from his cool baby gifts that we featured at Cool Mom Picks to his swanky charging dock organizer . So I'm not surprised at how much I'm loving his new iPad cases too. The J…

I love that tech is getting smaller and smaller--especially for those of us apartment dwellers with limited home office space. And for a while now, I've been eying the aptly named HP Envy printer, which has the compact footprint of a DVD…

I know I'm not alone when I say I can't get enough of photo apps for my phone like Instagram , Photocopier , and my first love, Hipstamatic . Now there's a fun one I've just added, that's great for taking old fashioned photo strips. Pock…
