The stylish stylus

I admit when I hear the word stylus, I still think of that awful little black toothpick-y thing that came with my very first Palm Pilot. Now, it's so exciting that they've become stylish, comfortable to hold, and more importantly, harder…

A galaxy of glitter for your glittery Galaxy

A galaxy of glitter for your glittery Galaxy

Glitter is so fabulous in theory and often so wretched in reality. It sloughs off eyelids yet refuses to budge from fingernails. That handmade card in the school bag leaves your car looking like a fairy murder scene. And yet... it's so s…

Long ago, in a time before cell phones...

I get a huge kick out of tech that ironically combines the old with the new, but it still has to be functional. Hey, I'm a parent after all, and practicality reins supreme. The perfect example: this iPhone case from Jack Spade. The Payph…

Laptops look good in leather

Ahhh...I still remember the day I picked up my very first MacBook like it was yesterday. Pristine white shell, fancy schmancy inner workings. It was like reaching nerd-vana while floating on top of a wispy wireless cloud. Five minutes la…
