I was delighted to be asked by my favourite blog, Apartment Therapy Tech, to list my top ten gadgets I use and love. I've written about interiors and technology for a range of publications (including Grand Designs, Stuff, Wired UK, Woman & Home, Ideal Home, for Channel4 and the BBC, and on my blog, ACHICA Living), so I know how important it is for interior design and technology to complement each other. You can't create a comfortable and impressively functional home without good technology, right? More

When it comes to power tools, new ones are released each year and the product cycle of power tools is very similar to tech and rightly so. Improved technology contributes to major changes in tool design. The number one consideration in a power tool (cordless) is the battery. Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionized power tools and as they continue to get smaller and lighter the tools begin to evolve into extensions of your hand instead of brutish instruments. More

Happy New Year! It was a notable year: I emerged from cell phone hibernation earlier in 2011 and started using a Windows Phone 7 device after 5+ years living without a cell. 2011 was also the year I jumped onto the blazing fast solid state drive bandwagon, cut our landline completely, got rid of cable TV, and made our home Airplay enabled in every room.

And what does 2012 have in store for me in the tech department? I'm finally upgrading from a 1st generation 720p HDTV to a beautifully razor thin 1080p model, hopefully switching to whatever Apple has in store for us with their upcoming MacBook Pro refresh (Retina display, Air-form factor?), and just maybe adding a few more camera lenses to my collection if budget allows...

Hi, I'm Jason Rodway. You might remember me from such posts as Long Distance Relationships: Version 2.0 and My Geek Chiq Wedding. Classic TV references aside, I'm fairly new to the Unplggd team and love all things mobile tech and enjoy nothing more than a long bus ride alone with my arsenal of gadgets. To say that one day I'd write about my biggest passion is literally a dream come true.

Hey y'all! I'm Taryn, a blogger, editor, trivia buff and aspiring foodie who hails from Atlanta, Georgia. I've been holding things down for Unplggd and Apartment Therapy here in The South for almost 4 years now. I'm a hardcore Apple addict who loves playing games, reading magazines and I'm currently in the beginning stages of a love affair with photography. My favorite gear is the stuff that keeps me busy, whether that's getting active with a workout or getting lazy with a book. I also turn to tech to keep me organized and streamlined on everything from storing recipes to finding a better way to carry my DSLR camera.

My name is Mike, I've been writing for Unplggd for a year and a half now and I just finished up the craziest year of my life. I graduated school in May and came up to New York for a job working as a graphic designer for an international branding agency. I've been so busy finishing up school, moving to a new city, and adjusting to working life that I haven't had much time to spare for tech. Consequently most of the things I've been using have had to have a highly utilitarian function helping me get things done. But that's not to say everything is all work and no play. I've incorporated a few playful and entertaining odds and ends along the way as well.

Hi there! I'm Julienne, and I love playing video games, trying out new food spots and discovering the latest technology so I can write about these wonderful things. Besides running around looking for my latest obsession, I also work in social media and public relations in Los Angeles, which means I'm constantly hooked to apps like Twitter, Pinterest and Tumblr. That's probably why I can never go anywhere without my iPhone 4S. I gravitate towards small, portable tech that still packs a lot of functionality that I then decorate with a chic case or cute accessories.
