Website of the Day: The Ones We Love
I love a good website that helps me do something geeky even better, but sometimes I've got to feature a new website that's more on the sweet and artful side. The Ones We Love was begun as a project by young photographer, Lindley Warren, who asked people to submit six photographs of the most important person in their life.
The result is a compilation of startlingly intimate shots by assorted photographers that are breathtaking and lovely, regardless of skill or technique (though it's paramount on this site).

Tech Dating 101: Do You Save Messages From Your Date?
One of the benefits of of digital technology is that every email, text, and voicemail is easily saved, stored, and relived. It's helpful when you're dating someone — I think it's both fun and cute to reread old messages. (Though I suppose this can get dicey when trying to cut your ex out of your digital life, but that's a topic for another day).
Cool Capture: A Glimpse of Galveston From plmonroe2
Reader plmunroe2 recently added some shots to the Cool Capture group:
Galveston, TX, may not be considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the US, but it does have its moments. Every time I go down there to visit my boyfriend, I catch a glimpse of what a pretty place it can be. My boyfriend and I were just driving along the seawall and I looked back and saw the sunset.
Plug Into This Cute Robot Power Strip
I love it when someone takes a boring household item that we all need — like a power strip — and turns it into something fun. Case in point: the Electric Man power strip from Urban Outfitters. This cute robot-shaped power strip has four grounded outlets — one on each of the little guy's appendages.
Tech Dating 101: Help! He's E-Stalking Me
Electronic communication can both help and hurt a relationship. On one hand, it encourages constant communication and may make you feel closer to one another. On the other — this constant communication may make you feel suffocated.
Tech Dating 101: Is It OK to Just Give Him My Twitter Name?
Have you heard a story like this? A good friend of mine met a great guy in a crowded bar, and barely had the chance to talk to him before the people she came with wanted to leave. As they parted ways and he hurriedly asked her, "Can I call you sometime?"
Tech Dating 101: He Acts Differently Online Than in Real Life
I'll admit it: technology has made the early stages of dating a lot easier. For instance, you no longer have to work up the nerve to call a guy you're into — just fire off a witty text message or IM and avoid awkward pauses on the phone altogether! It's a lot easier to type out something you might have trouble expressing in a face-to-face situation.
Sprint Debuts Cheeky New Desperate Housewives Ads
Companies and TV networks are getting quite clever when it comes to creating commercials that blend well with the show it's airing with. We already know that people aren't watching commercials during popular shows, so it makes sense that companies are using some smart tactics to get people to watch — and not fast forward through — its commercials. Sprint is doing just that by teaming up with Desperate Housewives to launch seven commercials that were actually written and directed by Desperate Housewives employees.
Tech Dating 101: What's Up With All the Emoticons?
I was out with a group of girlfriends last week when one of them received a text from a guy she'd gone on a few dates with. It read, "Great time last night ;)" — with the winking emoticon. Apparently after every single text he sends (and sometimes midtext, too), he includes an emoticon.
Twitter Lists Coming Soon!
One of my biggest gripes with Twitter is that I have a hard time keeping up with everyone I follow. I love to follow my favorite blog updates, but I also love to read what my friends are up to, as well as follow breaking news updates. So I'm overjoyed by the most recent news out of Twitter HQ: lists!
