Website of the Day: Flavor Tunes
I love a good party, but for me, what truly makes a memorable bash is the selection of tunes blasting from the stereo. I know, most of us feel helpless when we go to a party or event and the music gets increasingly painful with every song. .

Geek Tip: 3 Ways to Make Your Friends the Party DJ
Every good host knows you can't throw a party without good music, starting with crafting a great playlist. Once you have that, though, people still might have song requests, so let them be the DJ without having to keep getting on your playlist to change the song. Here are some fun ways to create a jukebox using the gadgets you may already have:
- Download the free Fluid Tunes (pictured above) for the easiest and most fun iTunes DJ — it uses your computer's camera so that all your guests need to do is gesture — literally, wave their hands — to change the song.
Bringing the Party With the Apple TV
When I first told you how much I was enjoying the Apple TV, I mentioned that I thought the device was best suited for party people. And I am party people. No, not in a frat-boy Brody Jenner way, but in that I love hosting people at my house.
Party On! Summer Party Tech Essentials
Something about a warm day receding into a balmy night makes you want to get your friends together for a party, even if you live in a city where the nights never quite make it to "balmy."

An Exclusive Look at Aliph's Latest Jawbone Headset!
Sleek and chic was the name of the game at last night's Jawbone party here in San Francisco. Me and my geeksugar partner in crime were out in full force, checking out Jawbone's latest and greatest second generation bluetooth headset, which is now available for $130. Not only did we get to examine this fashionable device, which features stellar noise-blocking technology and is fifty percent smaller than the original model, but we ran into one of our favorite tech savvy gals — Gina Hughes of Yahoo!

Sometimes the best things in life are free, right? Well if you ever find yourself thirsty and short on cash, I advise heading on over to My Open Bar, a site dedicated to listing venues that offer free food and/or booze. Each listing is submitted by readers and offers a short description plus a rating, so you know exactly what you're getting yourself into before you go.
The BlackJack II by Samsung Debuts Style
Last night I put on my party dress and attended the star-studded BlackJack II by Samsung launch party in LA. Held at the hot new Mexican restaurant Beso (which officially opens mid-December) and hosted by self-confessed gadget girl Eva Longoria, my partner in crime Molly and I rocked out to a special performance by Mark Ronson and the Version Players and, best of all, got to check out the BlackJack II.
The AT&T exclusive Samsung BlackJack is a lot sleeker then I envisioned, and I was thoroughly impressed with the large 2.2-inch color display screen.

GelaSkins Brings Tim Burton to Your iPhones, Laptops
Even if you didn't get to party with Tim Burton himself on Tuesday night for the unveiling of his career-spanning collection of art in NYC, you can still go check out the goods at the MoMA, and now can don your iPhone or laptop in his work as well. GelaSkins is known for their huge selection of artist-inspired gadget skins, and have plucked the artwork right out of Burton's "The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories" and handed it to us in a collection called Tragic Toys for Girls and Boys.
The iPhone skins will set you back $15, and the Laptop skins start at $30, but seems like a deal if you're a Burton fangirl, or just adore his creepy-cute art, like I do.
Lindsay Lohan Is a Fan of Apple but Not Its Warranty
Although Lindsay Lohan has run the gauntlet of cell phones, she's become a BlackBerry convert and sticks with Apple for her computer needs. Lindsay recently lamented on Twitter about how her MacBook took a beating during her recent travels and ended up with a cracked screen. I know how expensive replacing screens can be, and unfortunately the star had to learn the hard way that accidental breakage isn't covered on Apple's warranty or by their protection plans.
