I don't know if you've noticed the same thing within your own social circle of friends, but my Facebook feed has been noticeably slowing down, with less and less updates, commenting, and interaction online. Perhaps it's reflective of my friends getting older and focusing on their career and parenting concerns, but it seems more likely the luster is wearing off. Conversely, my Instagram feed is vibrantly alive with comments, updates, and add-ons. Facebook probably took note of this migration, thus the acquisition of Instagram just last month.

I was just in NYC this past week and the weather ranged from muggy overcast, to heavy downpour, to a wicked chill, then finally to a pleasant warmth with sunshine...all within a span of 48 hours.

There are probably plenty of times you have needed to explain how to do something to a friend or family member — from showing your son how to change a tire to explaining to your grandmother how to plug in the PS3.

Here's a total 1st world problem: you've got an iPad AND an iPhone, and both need to be charged up at the same time, but you've only got one open outlet. Of course, most of us can just charge one device in one room, the other in another. But if you're apt to lean towards convenience and efficiency, how about a charging dock which can accommodate for both devices at once? More

I've reached the age where half my friends have left the chapter of "me" and have turned the page to the new volume of "we", so I've been hanging out more with kids during social occasions. One of the biggest changes in parenting I've noticed with my generation and younger is their reliance upon smartphone and tablets as virtual babysitters... More

I'm in the market for new iPhone speakers and a charging dock, but this time around I want function and style. Really, with so many products flooding the market, there's no reason you can't have both. I'm drawn to simple, sleek wooden wares — hopefully they will be as functional as they are pretty. Here's a roundup of products for the iPhone or iPod that fit the bill. More

I happened upon JD Hancock's series of vivid and entertaining photos titled, Little Dudes, while perusing Flickr's Creative Commons archives for iPhone related imagery.
