You know the scene. Where’s my phone. I know I left it here. Where’s my phone. Shoot, it’s on silent/out of battery. Where’s my phone…
I’d love to say this happens only to my husband and to my kids, but to be honest, it happens a lot to me too, mostly because I have way too many options to carry my phone. Handbag? Clutch? Computer bag? Gym bag? Phone wallet? Coat pocket? Oy!
So, as you can guess, I’m going to tell you that this little device solves the locating problem. It does, and then some. It’s called the Zomm and, [...]

I admit it. I am crazy about my iPhone. It is probably – even more than my computer – my most prized possession. Materialistic, I know.
Until IMakeMyCase, the extent of personalization of the über cool lifestyle tool in question went as far as our capacity to choose between the white or the black unit, and then to choose between an array of equally generic (and enormously overpriced) protective cases. I made a real big statement when I chose a clear one.
But now there is IMakeMyCase to the rescue. Just launched this past week at CES and produced in Atlanta by [...]

I thought I was completely done with Halloween. I actually gave all – every single last piece – of my Halloween paraphernalia to my neighbor when I moved. My kids confirmed that they were done with the trick-or-treating thing a couple of years ago. And, since I lived in a gated community, where mainly arrogant un-costumed teenage boys would knock for candy, I closed shop long ago.
But now, since moving to the Chicago North Shore, with nary a gate or wall  in sight, and small children galore, and the Halloween “spirit” already omnipresent (and adorable), I’m thinking that I might [...]

Too bad that this product isn’t released until later this summer, otherwise it would have been a perfect Father’s Day gift idea for those husbands and dads that keep quoting from movies or recalling favorite scenes. Or that have still have an unfulfilled yearning to be in the movies. But, that can be almost anyone.
Yoostar allows users to star in scenes from their favorite movies alongside famous actors. With the proprietary camera, software and green screen kit, anyone can recite their favorite lines and appear in a chosen movie scene. How’d they do it? Actors are digitally “removed” from certain [...]

I going to sound like a back-of-the-1950′s-magazine-advertisement now, but strangely enough, it’s a case of  download this iPhone game app and “impress your friends”. The graphics of the little steel ball rolling around the mini wooden labyrinth are just too perfect. It feels like you are playing the real thing. You can even calibrate your phone to make sure that the steel ball rolls on the correct plain. I showed off the game to subjects in every age category from 8 to 68 and all marveled. It’s challenging enough for gamers and just manageable enough for neophytes.
The best part: it’s [...]
