This Family Unplugged For 6 Months & Lived To Tell About it

How Important Is Your Twitter Username?
I remember back in the 6th grade, Calvin Klein jeans were very popular. All the girls in "the club" wore them, and I begged my mother to take me shopping for a pair so I could be cool. Now that I'm an adult, I'm noticing that there are still things in life that can make us cool, but it's no longer a ...
Alertron: The Bluetooth Babysitter For Your Phone
It's interesting to me that as the number of gadgets we get grows, so do the number of products that help us keep up with them. We depend on our technology for almost everything these days, and it's only natural that we would lose our gadgets from time to time. Last week I wrote about a remote con ...

The Bike Plow: Turns Snow Plowing Into Piles Of Fun
Sweden recently got a little bit of snow, and once again the mercury went down on the thermometer. It's no surprise, and it is usually the case during winter over here.
