Geek Out: Would You Deny Your Mom a Friend Request?
It seems like every day, my mom is getting more and more tech savvy. She has her own blog, a TiVo, an iPod, and a Bluetooth earpiece, and I'm pretty sure she actually drooled when she first saw my iPhone 3G. That's why it wasn't exactly surprising when she sent me a Facebook friend request.
How Tech Savvy Is Your Mom?
lilsugar posted the Today Show interview yesterday in which Heather "Dooce" Armstrong, of the award-winning blog Dooce, explained to Kathie Lee Gifford about the trials of blogging about her young daughter. Kathie Lee questioned Dooce for posting pictures of her daughter on the Internet, Lil questioned the hypocrisy, and me? I questioned the hilariously out-of-touch soundbytes about tech that Kathie Lee and her co-host Hoda Kotb provided.

How to Shop For a New Cell Phone
I was pretty set on buying a new iPhone 3GS as soon as I could, but that doesn't mean I'm unfamiliar with the anxieties of choosing a phone. Remember when you had maybe three phone options to choose from? My first phone was a clunky Nokia with a changeable faceplate — my toughest decision was figuring out which color to choose!

This is especially true if you were considering making her a custom photo book using iPhoto's printing services — you have until tomorrow to whip it up, place your order, and have it in your hands (and all wrapped up) by May 10.
If you've never used Apple's printing services before, I suggest you give it a try.
Would You Make Phone Calls Via Twitter?
I'm all over Google Voice, the freakishly awesome (and free) Google service that lets me take my own phone number anywhere (plus a ton of other great features). But just cause I use my email carrier to make phone calls, doesn't mean I'd do the same on Twitter.
