This week I was given a Fiat. A Fiat 500. I went back into the rental office and asked if there was anything else.
It was way too small for me. My body started aching from the thought of having my knees at my chin as I drove home…and even though I begged for anything else, and even offered to pay extra for anything else – all they had was a Crown Royale. So I J-Lo-ed my behind home…
And fell in love with this little beauty of a car. Watch the video to check out my thoughts.

Today Michael Reyes and I from HardwareGeeks.com were able to check out the brand new Galaxy Tab 8.9 from Samsung. The device which features a dual core processor, gorilla glass, and 16 or 32 GB of storage is the thinnest tablet on the market.
Check out my unboxing video and check back soon for my full review!

I love drinking sparkling drinks (agua con gas) like perrier and pelligrino but it gets to be an expensive habit. A friend recommended awhile back that I look into getting a home soda maker but I just never jumped on the idea…until this week. I just got a SodaStream Fizz Home Soda Maker!
The Starter kit comes with everything you need to make you own soda at homes: the Fizz soda maker, reusable carbonator that makes up to 60L and a reusable BPA-free 1L carbonating bottle. You can start with tap or filtered water based on your preference. The Fizz is available in four colors: black, red, blue and green…and naturally, I went with the candy apple red! Continue Reading…

The Eton American Red Cross Rover, part of Eton’s TurboDyne Series of products that uses Hand Turbine Technology to power devices is a self powered tool which uses hand turbine technology to produce energy. This model is an AM/FM/NOAA Weather Radio with Flashlight and USB Cell Phone Charger. It is easy to use, durable and utterly necessary for home and car. This little device only needs a few hand cranks to power on the flashlight and radio in an emergency and to charge your cell phone enough that you can call for help. I like the white LED light source and the direct USB power transfer. It has a telescopic antenna to ensure maximum range of radio reception and a headphone jack. At less than 8 inches long and 13 ounces, it easily stores in a kitchen drawer, a utility cabinet, in a vehicle’s glove compartment, the side pocket of a dive bag….you get the idea. Continue Reading…

The Barnes & Nobles Nook Color is out and drawing lots of looks from the ladies (and gents!) who already have a Nook in their pocket but want more from it. I don’t yet have an eReader but have considered how beneficial and enjoyable one would be given my love of reading. Imagine the example I could set for Maya by dedicating ‘down’ time, like time on the subway, or in waiting rooms, to reading with her even more. The Nook is just so portable…enabling me to take my reading materials as well as the children’s reading favorites anywhere we go!
I have asked around about the Nook and by coincidence, my sister and my son’s teacher where over, with Nooks in their pocketbooks and where willing to share the details of their Nook-Affairs with me in this video… Continue Reading…

The HP TouchSmart 310 PC with HP TouchSmart 4.0 software gets today’s kids who are growing up with smart phones and tablets at home and Prometheus boards in the classroom. They get touch navigation and multimedia, mult-tasking, multi-everything with ease. Young kids drink in the universe through their senses and HP Touchsmart is an ideal feeding ground for them at home and in school. I knew I was going to love this computer for my children who are ‘different’ learners and I was fairly certain that they were going to master it with ease, but I did not expect to get sucked into TouchSmart 4.0 myself. I honestly can not get over how much I enjoy using this computer! This from a PC-for-work, Mac-for-pleasure girl… Continue Reading…

Armed with a pocket full of business cards and comfy teal-sequined kicks, I donned my press badge and had field day at the 2011 CEA Line Show in NYC last month. It was a science and tech playground for the blogger in me! I got to touch all sorts of new tech toys that hadn’t even hit the market, share perspectives with industry leaders and learn about new techniques and concepts in everything from wireless technologies, security and cyber-safety to social networking for pre-teens.
I talked with companies big and small, some names you know and some that you are only now just hearing of and I captured a few great convo’s to share with you, some of which I have posted about and some which you will hear more about once products and interviews become available. It was a sweet day to be a blogger…

With Valentines day right around the corner, I decided to make a guide on what we would love to get for Valentines day. Please don’t call 1800-Flowers, or send me chocolates, and while a teddy bear would be nice, I really want technology and things to better use the technology I have. Flowers die, chocolate [...]
