OMG: 10 Gifts for the Young at Heart

Growing up is seriously overrated, so why not give gifts that bring out the little kid within all of us? You know, the one that welcomed each day with a smile, dreamt big and always made time for fun? Here are ten gems to get the party started…you can thank me later.

Social Media For Social Good

Come join us this Friday for an interactive panel discussion on Social Media For Social Good. It all goes down inside Wired’s holiday pop-up store in Times Square and features founders from Warby Parker, Catchafire, Tweet Drive and Holstee. I’ll be moderating the panel so feel free to tweet any questions. Admission costs only a hi-five and is open to the public. Hope to see you there!

For the eco-friendly music lover

Portable music for small groups can be a hassle. Sure, there are any number of docks these days but many of them require batteries or put a big-time drain on your device. Plus, sometimes it makes an outing a little more high-tech than it needs to be. I’ve known about the iBamboo speaker for a few months and anxiously awaited it’s release (it’s finally out today), but if you haven’t heard, it’s an eco-conscious speaker for the iPhone 4/4S made entirely of bamboo. I can’t say this is going to be audiophile quality, but for $25 it’s worth a shot and might be just the thing for some tunes at a picnic, campsite or bonfire.
