If you're especially proud of all the hard work and time you've put into Facebook--writing funny comments on people's walls, creating clever status updates and choosing only the cutest photos of your kids for your photo albums--you'll lo…

Happy Memorial Day everyone! For the fashion-minded, this means that it's time to break out the white. Whether or not you look good in white pants (I can only speak for myself) I think we can all brighten up our tech wardrobe. So in cele…

Now with movies on demand through my cable provider, streaming movies through Amazon , loads of options from Netflix , Hulu, and a slew of other video services, the choice between watching a new release at home versus in a theater with a…

One nagging project of mine is getting prints of all the digital pictures I have on my phone so I can keep our family photo album (yes, with actual 4x6" prints!) somewhat up-to-date. I just checked and the last photo in our album is from…

If you have an iPad, you probably already feel pretty cool. What would make it even cooler is to protect that bad boy with one of these eco-friendly iPad cases. There are so many cool iPad cases on the market, but these are special becau…

Q: Aw man...where is the Hipstamatic for us Android users? -Cool Mom Tech fan via Facebook . A: Lots of readers agreed with Debi Mazar's Hipstamatic app recommendation on our site last week, but our Android users are again asking, "where…

I used to love sending out handwritten notes on my pretty Jeana stationery when I was a kid. I always thought I was so special to have my own crisp white monogrammed paper with a pink polka-dot border. I was special. While handwritten no…

Over the years, I've spent a lot of time and money adding music to my digital collection, and making playlists for every event imaginable. With warmer weather just around the corner, I'd like to think that my "BBQ Music," "Summer Mix" an…

Summer is just around the corner (finally!) along with fun, sun, and of course, cute little bodies in cute little bathing suits which make for plenty of photo opportunities. But there's nothing like a big splash of water on your camera (…

When I was younger, a fun family pastime was whipping out the Kodak Ektagraphic slide projector for a look at photos of family trips, birthday parties and the accompanying lore. I still vividly remember the faint whirring of the motor, s…

If you're a fan of Pinterest, then you're just as excited as we are that their iPhone app has just launched today. If you don't know what Pinterest is? You are in for a very special treat. Think of Pinterest as a beautiful digital corkbo…

There are so many kids' apps geared towards teaching letters and phonics and let's be honest, a lot of them suck. But when we hear that developer Duck Duck Moose has got one out, we sit up and take notice. Word Wagon is a very cute kids'…

When you're traveling to a new location, there are obviously lots of websites that gather recommendations from the public. But you do kind of have to take it all with a grain of salt, when you don't actually know who is insisting that Ma…

As a former professional photographer, I've gone from toting around a huge SLR camera with expensive lenses and cool gizmos to now primarily taking photos with my itty bitty iPhone. The quality of the iPhone 4 camera is obviously not pro…

Thankfully, my kids are out of the Caillou stage, but I remember at one point, bracing myself, hoping they wouldn't ask to watch that show. (What a whiner!) Commercial-free kids TV for the most part is great, but I'm so glad to have anot…

Remember that song, "Parents Just Don't Understand?" Definitely a blast from the past, but every generation of kids thinks the same thing about their parents. What's different about Generation Z--aka the "Net Generation"--is that it's no…

Between the Will and Kate wedding plates, engagement ring knock-offs, t-shirts, mugs and more, it's royal wedding paraphernalia galore! So we thought we'd do our part for you enthusiasts who set your alarms to 4AM to watch the nuptials, …

I'm waiting for the day the tablet becomes the new desktop, but since we're not quite there yet, I'm thinking the laptop will hold onto its reign as desktop replacement. As powerful as desktop computers are, the technology that new lapto…

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…

After "I love you," I'm pretty sure that the next phrase I've said most frequently to my kids is, "Be careful!" While we parents often take the safety of our families the most seriously, are we doing the same for ourselves? A new app rec…

Today is Earth Day. Of course every day I try to do my darnedest to reduce, reuse and recycle, but when it comes to helping the planet, there's always room for improvement, and Earth Day is a great time to think about what we can all do …

How many of you have you misplaced your phone and had to call your mobile number? My hand is raised over here. But for the times that I've called my number and my ringer has been off, and I've spent a good 30 minutes retracing my steps t…

I have so many adorable video clips of my kids scattered among my iPhone, laptop, Flip Camera (RIP) and removable hard drive. I dare to dream about turning this jumble of clips into longer movies with real Hollywood-like transitions and …

We know that there are a lot of iPhone apps and accessories out on the market and sometimes Android users may get a little bitter over the lack of attention their equally smart smartphones are getting. (We know! We see your posts on Face…
