Power strips have come a long way in the last few years. We're finding more and more that are stylish and pretty, or like these, almost invisible. The Invisiplug is a regular old power strip with a realistic wood grain pattern (not real …

While we've got spring cleaning and organizing on the brain, that extends to my audio system options too. If you've got unwieldy woofers or cord nests polluting your otherwise clean (okay, sometimes clean) space, here's a beautiful, simp…

Now that temperatures have finally crept beyond 40 (just barely), I am looking ahead to April when I go into total spring cleaning mode. With my home office and workspace area littered with Post-It notes, pens that don't work and lots an…

Raise your hand if you've got a cord nest somewhere in your home that looks more like a design magazine "before" instead of an "after." I am raising my hand. Okay, both hands. So I'm thrilled to find a smart, affordable, nice-looking sol…

I'm feeling the need for a little sunshine and happiness right now, both emotionally and physically. And hey, sometimes your mood starts with your surroundings so when I saw this desk lamp at CB2 I perked right up. How could you resist t…

Now that winter is here in the northeast, at least according to the thermometer, we've been turning to our trusty space heaters to compensate for the rooms that neat a little more oomph when the mercury drops. Now there's one that's perf…

I am not the only person who has wished that there were mini LoJaks to put on pretty much everything I own--mainly 5 minutes after I'm supposed to be somewhere and still can't find my cell phone or my sunglasses. So when I saw this brill…

I confess, I still have boxes of CDs that may never be sold or donated. As wonderful as MP3s are, there's something about owning my music in handy CD form that I can't let go of. So wasn't I surprised to see a company still making a CD p…

Leave it to Jonathan Adler to take something high tech, make it look low tech, which then makes me want it. Like this old fashioned phone looking thing? Not really a phone at all. Actually it's the Jonathan Adler smartphone dock which we…

Readers of this site will know we all have a thing for juxtapositions of new and old--like vintage train cases reincarnated as gadget charging stations or high tech home phones with retro style. Now we're going way back, with this very a…

I remember an entire six years ago (whoa) when we discovered this set of Nerdy Baby alphabet flashcards . At the time, there was nothing like them. I mean, who thought of M as anything but Monkey or maybe, if the set was really inventive…

Sometimes it's the little technological things that make the biggest difference--like this $14 outlet that I can't wait to install all over my house. The Leviton recessed outlet is one of the best and simplest ideas I've seen, especially…

Considering most of the photos of my kids are taken with the Instagram app , I'm always looking for cool ways to get them off my camera.So now, along with Casetagram iPhone cases and Stitchtagram pillows , you've got a new option: turnin…

Babyproofing, when you're a tech mama, is just a wee bit more nightmarish than for those who don't own 8 million power strips. But maybe this outlet cover will help ease your pain? At $6 for a set of 4, you're probably not going to use t…

While cleaning out the office yesterday, I kept coming upon relics from my not-so-distant past, like some weird archeological dig in my house. This, children, is a floppy disk. We used it to store information on before the Cloud. And her…
