** New Microsoft Hardware ** During our visit to New York and BlogHer, we were also lucky enough to get to see some of the new Microsoft hardware available now (and soon). We actually saw the Wedge Touch Mouse and Wedge Keyboard, but I’ve heard a little about the other items and am excited to play with them all. Anything to save space but keep me productive is a win-win in my book. If you are still in the market for accessories for Back to … [Read more...]

Sony Walkman E Series 8GB Video MP3 Player Review
by
Sony Walkman E Series 8GB Video MP3 Player Emma loves music. We found this out when she was around the age of 2-3. Emma had difficulty winding down and would have some serious fits that only alone time and music could cure. One day at Josh’s soccer game we gave her our MP3 player to listen to and watch videos on. So began Emma’s “music therapy”. Her mood swings lessened considerably and she seemed overall happier! Fast forward to now. To be … [Read more...]

by
I am an admitted smartphone junkie. I’ve only had one for about three months, but now I wonder how I functioned beforehand. I now have the freedom to “cut the cord” (leave the computer) and still be able to check in on my email for a minute, see if anything important popped up on Facebook, check for DMs on Twitter and anything else that pops into my mind while still being able to go to the park with the kids, or anywhere for that matter. I … [Read more...]

Philips PD700/37 7-Inch LCD Portable DVD Player : Review
by 1 Comment
Philips PD700/37 7-Inch LCD Portable DVD Player My recent trip to Atlanta was fantastic… including the plane ride. At first I thought for sure I was in for a l o n g ride because of the young child that planted his behind just a couple of seats away from me. Then his mom pulled out a portable DVD player and that was the last peep I heard from him. That made me think of several instances that a portable DVD player would come in handy in my … [Read more...]

by
RCA Small Wonder Palm 1080p HD Digital Camcorder As the self-proclaimed historian in my house, I had been dissatisfied with my current method of obtaining video. Although it was fairly new, I still longed for better resolution and expandability. I loved the compact nature of it, but between the memory on it is not being expandable and the lack of a quality zoom... it left me longing for more. I was thrilled when RCA agreed to let us … [Read more...]
