This seems like the kind of weekend after which we all need to smile a little. And I've found just the thing. The series of ironically placed iPhone photos over real environments by clever French photographer, professor, and cool dad Fra…

There are any number of baby books and memory journals out there for new parents, but none I couldn't put down, before it was even filled in. Until I saw The Geek Baby Book by Tim Mucci. Right from the first chapter, in which the author …

I'm mostly an Instagram purist. I really love following the kinds of accounts in which people share their own individual photography instead of loads of quotes, reshares, or images pulled from magazines. And while I can never resist a go…

If you're like me and are still peeved about Pluto being demoted from planet status due to its size, then you will appreciate this hilarious Dear NASA Pluto planet t-shirt from Look Human. Granted, I'm not generally a fan of "your mom" j…

With an average of 300 emoji reportedly tweeted each second, it's time to give into our graphical language overlords; our long-standing means of written communication has officially reverted back to the days of hieroglyphics and cave dra…

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…

My kids love to give and receive Valentine's Day cards from their friends and classmates, but they'd prefer to skip the mushy-gushy sentimental cards and stick with printable Minecraft Valentines cards, or others that reflect their love …

It's true that Tinder has a reputation for being a hook-up app, but hey, people have met on it and fallen in love, or at least, heavy like. And if that's you, well this Valentine's Day card is for you Internet lovebirds. This hilarious c…

If your kids are as obsessed with Minecraft as mine, you will laugh like I did when I saw this Minecraft Valentines t-shirt . Not laughing? Give it a sec. Take your time. You'll get it. The raglan tee is just available in men's and women…

The weather is so crazy lately that I wouldn't be surprised if the actual forecast was cloudy with a chance of meatballs, or some other spherical meat product. We all need a sense of humor with weather like this, and while we have a grea…

From all of us at Cool Mom Tech and a few of our other favorite tech geeks who you might recognize, we wish all of you a very Merry Christmas , courtesy of our friends at JibJab. We hope your day is full of peace, love, joy, and all the …

Every year for a looong time now I've looked forward to the annual Simpsons holiday intro that takes seasonal themes and runs with them, hilariously. This year's sequence does not disappoint--a Christmas (or Hanukkah?) miracle in itself …

Jack Frost nipping at your nose? Perfect time to gather 'round the fire and get merry, toasty and bright. No need to load on the logs, though. These flames are coming from your computer. Oh, yes. Yule Log 2.0 is back for a second season,…

The thing about YouTube is, it can go from super fun to totally overwhelming--not to mention disturbing--on a dime. Sometimes when I'm watching my 5-year-old son watch his YouTube videos on my old iPad, all I can do is hope that we don't…

I hate to admit it but with the automatic addition of the emoji keyboard with the iOS8 upgrade , I have finally given in to the emoticon and emoji bandwagon. With some limits of course. Of course Emoticandy , as far as I'm concerned, get…

Seeing as how our friends at Think Geek are having a big sale right now, I was poking around for what must-have (I use that term loosely) I'll come across, and wouldn't you know it? I found a contender in this set of stackable Star Wars …

As much as I like to make fun of selfies, I take them. We all take them. (Don't tell me you don't take them!) That's why I'm giggling (and hope you are too) at the This is My Selfie shirt I spotted at Mint Tees on Etsy. Granted, I'm a te…

I was just turned onto this Cult of Mac article about Questions You Can Ask Siri to get Hilarious Answers and it still holds up today. From Can you make me a Sandwich? to Open the pod bay doors , check out the list and have a lot of fun.…

Oh how we love Talk Like a Pirate Day each year. And clearly the folks at Facebook too. If you want to change your whole Facebook page into Pirate-speak for the day (or you know, forever), so that a like becomes Arrr and events happen at…

We're shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of Robin Williams, an entertainer who defined our childhood and still stayed relevant over all these years. He made us laugh, cry, and laugh-cry, with his amazing ability to transform …

Next week marks the beginning of one of our favorite ridiculous annual pop culture traditions: Shark Week. And while there's no shortage of gimmicky, silly, weird, and often adorable shark items, I think my fave this year (besides those …

Click your heels three times if it makes you happy, but otherwise, just walk in the door, flip open that laptop, and get surfing. And don't take it for granted; after a weekend spent in a conference basement with absolutely no signal, it…

Wishing all our readers a wonderful, relaxing, totally non-contentious day. Maybe you'll even get to unplug a little. Unless you don't want to. Hey, breakfast in bed followed by uninterrupted Pinterest browsing sounds good to us. Happy M…
