In the past couple of days, the tech and photography world has been abuzz with news of Lytro, the focus-free camera that promises to change how you take pictures forever. Lytro is the brainchild of a young Stanford Ph.D named Ren Ng. While the technology has existed since the mid-90s, Dr. Ng was able to take […]
Late last year J and I made the decision to cancel our cable. Not because we had stopped watching TV, but because we were no longer watching our favorite shows as they air. Sure, the DVR that our cable company had provided was getting a lot of mileage, but we couldn’t ignore the fact that […]
This one is for my photographer friends. Created by Mashable in conjunction with Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom®, it sure makes me nostalgic about the cameras of my past. (Like the Kodak DX3600, which was the first digital camera I ever owned. It was HUGE and boasted a paltry 2.3 megapixels, but I was the first of my […]

We’re not exactly sure why Claire was in such a good mood today (if only she were like this every day!), but we didn’t dare jinx it by even questioning why. We took it all in stride, enjoying every last minute, and when she went into a 3- minute long laughing frenzy, J scrambled for […]

The Antenn-aid. As its website claims, “Apple made a boo-boo. Make it all better.” Simply place this miniature miracle over the lower left corner of your iPhone’s sensitive area to improve signal performance. And while the seller goes through great lengths to ensure that buyers understand the Antenna-aid is for entertainment purposes only, chances are, […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
