Last year, you guys loved WESC's rectangle headphones, and this year, the brand is keeping the music bumpin' with its new Winter and seasonal collections ($40-120). Remember when I told you vinyl was making a reappearance? Well, over-the-ear headphones are coming back in a big way as well. These stylish cans are modern, but with an obvious retro kick, and I'm enjoying the resurgence. Plus, with collection names like Oboe, Bongo, and Maraca, you can't help but get into the groove. Everything old is new again, and I'm totally down with that — it makes me feel like a youngster!

Over the Christmas holiday, we had a truly groundbreaking event in my house. For about two hours, the entire family came together without fighting, stress, or family drama. The reason? A brand-new Nintendo Wii. I'm telling you, that thing is a peacemaker.

This side of my family isn't particularly into video games like the other side is (it obviously took them long enough to jump on the Wii bandwagon!), so I decided to start off simply, teaching them Wii Bowling. My grandmother has been bowling maybe twice in her entire life, but she knows how the game works. I figured it wouldn't be too hard to teach her the motions since it requires pushing only two buttons and a nice, easy arm movement. I was right! After a 30-second lesson, Grandma was bowling strike after strike, and finished with an impressive 153 — ahead of both me and my tech-savvy sister.

The rest of the family got in on the sports action, too, including my 3-year-old niece. While she didn't quite understand bowling (though it was easier once we let her stand on the couch to get a better view of the TV), she was a whiz kid at MarioKart, which is coincidentally one of our favorite games from growing up.

I'm not sure who I'd say learned how to play faster, though Grandma totally impressed us all with how quickly she picked it up . . . and now my niece won't put it down! I guess we know what everyone else in the family is getting next year.

I can't tell you how many times I've walked by the same pothole on my way to work, and thought about what kind of damage that thing could be doing to people's cars. Although I don't drive to work, I can help get this particular pothole (and others like it) fixed with the help of my iPhone.

A new free iPhone app called SeeClickFix helps city officials discover problems with roads, signs, buses, and the like via messages sent by residents. The app allows you to snap a photo of the problem, write a message, then send the report along with your coordinates to a team of city officials who can then start solving the issues that have the biggest impact on our daily lives. See an intersection that could use a stop sign? Send it along! Is there a streetlight in your 'hood that isn't working? Report it! The best part about this app is that it works with cities across the country. Go to the SeeClickFix website to check if your city is on the list.
