Gadgettes podcast

After nearly a whole month without a new episode, the Gadgettes are back and badder than ever! We devote today's episode to examining the category dubbed "mommy tech" from this year's CES. By the end of today's episode, the entire mommy tech category is practically crying to it's own mommy.

There are a LOT of great pre and post-show moments. So many, in fact, that I couldn't possibly fit them all into one episode. As a result, here's a second collection!

There are a LOT of great pre and post-show moments. This is merely a sampling of the best from 2009.

Not only are the gifts covered in today's episode perfect to meet the mediocre expectations of a white elephant party, but this episode itself is in essence our very own white elephant gift to you! Interpret that as you will, and have a wonderful holiday, everyone!
