This summer I’ve been spending as much time outside as possible. And while I don’t necessarily think of my outdoor playtime as conducive to using mobile apps, it certainly is handy to know what time you need to pitch your tent before the sunsets or where the nearest gas station is when you’re on the…
I’ve never been a huge tech person, but Kate just did a fantastic roundup of tech-related innovations that has me second-guessing my mild tech aversions. She rounded up her Top 10 design-related tech innovations (I hadn’t heard of at least 1/3 of them) and there are so many fantastic ideas in here that are bound…
While it may seem depressingly gloomy outside today (too gray for gardening), I’m always hopeful that spring will return (Monday was such a cruel tease) and bring back some signs of life. The tree behind our building is starting to bud and show signs of blooming, so I was excited that Kate’s new post at…
Last year I went through a really obnoxious phase with my iPhone where I decided it was cool to buy a handful of different snap-on covers and change them regularly like an outfit. I didn’t talk to my phone or anything and get excited to dress it up, but I did sort of get hooked…
Image above via Adidas Originals I’m married to someone who thinks tech accessories are the greatest thing since sliced bread. Whenever we have people over, we each get excited about completely different things. Me? Flowers, decorating and getting to use nice platters. Him? Making playlists and setting up tech gadgets and apps to help with…
Image above: Kate’s tech picks to get you moving! D*S editor Kate Pruitt is getting ready for spring over at MyLifeScoop, where she’s rounded up the Top 20 Tech Accessories for Health and Fitness. Since I’m glued to my laptop for the majority of my waking hours, I’m pretty obsessive about making some time to…
My techy heart is so happy this morning because Kate did what I’ve been wanting to do personally for a while: she rounded up the top 5 apps for design lovers. I made a list last year, but that is woefully outdated now. Kate picked her top five and now, I have five new favorites….
I’m packing up and heading west to Salt Lake City today for the Altitude Design Summit. These days, it’s harder to make sure I pack all my tech accessories than it is to pick out what I’m going to wear. From cameras, phones and laptops to dongles (such a terrible name), adaptors and chargers, I’m…
I’m not normally a super techy person, but when I heard the manager for this project compare it to Epcot Center, I had to check it out. Not only because I loved Epcot Center way more than Disney World when I was little, but also because I love any chance to check out something that’s…
It’s a little on the early side, so my brain is still moving slowly. But I wanted to share this fun little decal sticker that’s been on my mind since last night. Aly sent over a link to this decal she saw on Highsnobiety, and I’m totally hooked. The decal mimics the front of a…
We’re still in full gift-guide swing here at D*S, but a two of our editors are carrying on the gift-giving spirit outside of our main page. Kate and Amy having been writing columns at MyLifeScoop and Currency for a while now, but over the past week or two they’ve been sharing great gift ideas with…
D*S editor Kate Pruitt is in gift mode this week with two new posts over at the D*S Blog on Currency and MyLifeScoop. First up is Kate’s amazing roundup of covers for the iPad, Kindle, Nook, Kobos and Sony e-Readers. She has pulled together a great collection of choices to suit all sorts of styles…
I never thought I’d write the words “tech gifts” and “cheese plates” in the same sentence, but today D*S editors Amy and Kate have new posts up at the D*S blog on Currency and MyLifeScoop. Kate is kicking of the gift season early with her choices for the best tech gifts for the ladies in…
Morning guys! My brain is still reeling from yesterday’s font day — thank you so much for all of the kind emails and tweets about the roundups, videos and font contest (I hope you’ll take a crack at designing your own alphabet!). I’m so glad you enjoyed them! We all had fun switching gears for…
I’m married to one of the world’s biggest technology lovers. So when the iPad came out, it wasn’t long before it appeared in our apartment. I gave AC a hard time for getting one, but I soon found myself killing late night hours (and helmet-wearing pigs) playing Angry Birds on its shiny new screen. Even…
When it comes to all things audio, I relinquish any decision-making to our home’s resident audiophile, Aaron. My husband buys headphones like I buy paper goods (frequently), so when I built this office desktop speaker roundup for my guest series on MyLifeScoop, I felt like I was encroaching on his turf. Rather than attempting to…
today my guest series for my life scoop is coming to a close and i’m wrapping things up with a post on 25 cool usb drives. when i was working on the d*s book manuscript last fall i learned the hard way that not everything can be emailed. sometimes you have to break out the…
i’m normally one of those people who hates when someone pulls out their phone at a restaurant, but sometimes it can’t be avoided. and well, if you’re going to be checking your phone a lot, why not give it a cute outfit? (yep, i refer to my iphone cases as outfits). so today i rounded…
last week my first guest post for my life scoop (escaping the home office with iphone apps) went up and today my second post is up, and it’s all about design. i’m rounding up my top 10 favorite ways to decorate your home (paint, measure, shop, blueprints, etc.) using iphone apps and great online programs….
good morning! before we break into regular d*s content i wanted to take a second to share a post i wrote for another site. for the next few weeks i’m going to be guest blogging a few posts over at life scoop about technology. i’ve never considered myself a very techy person, despite spending about…
