What Do You Do With Your Phone During Appointments?
On a recent episode of How I Met Your Mother, Marshall and Ted decided to take a road trip to Chicago, while leaving Lily back at Crumpet Manor.

Cute As a Button: Peapod Electric "Neighborhood" Car
I'm all about the electric vehicle, so naturally the Peapod Mobility electric car caught my eye.

Ikea Brada Laptop Cushion, for Cozy Time
I've never really been that into laptop cushions, mostly because they remind me of those padded desks I used as a kid on road trips.
