I tend to browse lots of places looking for cool fonts that I may never use. (When it comes to typefaces I'm more of a collector than a designer; kind of like having lots of books at home you haven't yet opened. But I digress.) I've just…

If you spend your work life on your computer or know someone who does, this clever Closed Weekends laptop case is the perfect gift especially since Father's Day is only about a month away. (Yeah, we can't believe it either). Or hey, mayb…

I recently learned a tip: Waking up and beginning your day looking at Facebook and Twitter can start you off on the wrong foot. Between the political fighting, the depressing news, the spam and the trolling...yeah. Not necessarily the fi…

I'm much more of a silly card kind of girl than sentimental, which is why I'm digging these funny Valentine's Day cards that are made just for tech lovers, social media users, or well, anybody who owns a smartphone. Isn't that everyone t…

July 1st is right around the corner, which to us tech-minded folks means the day that Google Reader officially dies. Pause for silence. Sad day for many who have long-relied on this handy platform to keep up with their favorite blogs and…

The first time I met Kash Shaikh, he was an enthusiastic PR guru with GoPro and I was his guest, gratefully shivering in the early hours of an Alaska morning to see the Northern Lights. After helping GoPro skyrocket into even greater pop…

For those of you still wondering what the heck to do with Google+, it would seem that now with 250 million users, there is actually a whole lot. Even for regular old people, and not just "social media experts" which really, is the genius…

I'm pretty sure we can claim to know cool mom, author, and photographer Tracey Clark "when," since we featured her first book way back when we first started our site. She even took our first official Cool Mom Picks photo, back when we ea…

If you've got a busy summer ahead of you with adventures in new and exciting places, and you like to share your every move with your closest friends and family, a new app called Trip Lens is one to add to your packing, er, download list …

As a frequent social media user (who isn't these days?), I've often wondered about what all my tweets, posts, and status updates say about me. Personally, I'm hoping mine would be summed up with "fun, smart, and obsessed with Ryan Reynol…

As a former music therapist, I worked with kids with autism and their families for a number of years--way back before blogs even existed--and I saw how challenging it was for them to find support and assistance. Knowing how much mom blog…

Not surprisingly, we're big fans of the cool dads of the world. Not only are they really good at assembling cribs (when we don't feel like it) and doing all the silly voices for the bedtime stories, but a lot of them are pretty amazing b…

Last weekend, I co-hosted a fabulous party for the Atlanta Bloggy Boot Camp with our sponsor Best Buy , which was not just an excuse for me to pop on some super high heels and get a night out with some of my favorite bloggers. I also got…

Welcome Dads Dig This guest blogger Andy Hinds, a stay-at-home dad to twin girls and author of Beta Dad . I used to think I could have been a great filmmaker, the only things standing between me and a brilliant directing career being my …

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…

Imagine our surprise when we learned that Cool Mom Tech had been chosen as the #1 best tech and gadgets site on Babble.com . Even more awesome to see that we're ranked #4 out of the 50 fantastic shopping sites, including our own Cool Mom…

Remember last week, when I said I wanted to live in NYC so I could see some real, live yarn bombing ? Still true. But now I've got another reason on my (very long) list of why I need to go to the Big Apple. I want to be caught reading on…

Today is officially International Women's Day which--well, we can't think of a more favorite International Day. Considering Cool Mom Picks and Cool Mom tech are businesses run by women, primarily to support other women, this is definitel…

When I'm in a new city, I want to see the good stuff. Monuments and museums can be interesting, but what really fascinates me are the sights that not everybody has seen. Or even knows about. Which is why this amazing website is my new to…
