Long And Lean Haier P7 Pen Phone
This phone reminds me of one of those cell phones that are so hot we can't get one or how about the ever-so-teeny Nokia Icon Wrist Band Phone.
The Haier P7 Pen Phone may look like a concept phone, but in actual fact it's a fully-functioning cell jam packed with tons of great features. Shaped like a pen, the Haier P7 includes a digital camera, a 90-minute voice recorder and a LCD display that supports Multimedia Messaging Service (which basically means you can share pics quickly and easily).

John Hughes: Influential Director — and Pen Pal
Director John Hughes, who passed away Thursday at age 59, made a big impact on those of us who grew up watching his films and crushing on his characters. But he made an even bigger impact on Alison Byrne Fields: he was her pen pal.

Mommy's Lil Helper: Baby Brain iPhone App
Many new moms liken their introduction into motherhood to wading through a fog. I didn't see through the thickness until my daughter was about 6-weeks-old and even then, I still had mush brain. Like most first time mothers, I frantically tracked her nursing habits, diaper changes and nap times because I knew I would forget the schedule moments later.
Interview With Alex McCord: Real Housewife Talks Children
Made famous by her family's everyday antics on Bravo's show, The Real Housewives of New York City, Alex McCord has written a parenting book that will hit bookstore shelves at the end of this year or the beginning of next. Rather than an instructional read, the text will be a he said, she said penned by Alex and her hubby, Simon, about raising their young sons — Francois, 5, and Johan, 3, — in an urban environment. And, since they don't always agree, Alex said it makes for an interesting read.
Geeks We Love: Joshua Topolsky of Engadget
You'd think that Engadget's editor in chief, NYC-based Joshua Topolsky, would be too busy doing things like manhandling the new Kindle to have time to talk to geeksugar for this year's installment of Geeks We Love. But this is a man who says if he could, he'd be called "super king" rather than simply "editor-in-chief." Do not underestimate him.

Website of The Day: DIY Planner
There's just something about actually writing down your to-dos that makes you get 'em done. I admit — as much as I tout the joys of using my iPhone to list what I have to do during my day, I always find that I remember more when I'm physically writing them down on a piece of paper. So if you are also a fan of low-tech methods to help you get things done, then check out DIY Planner.
