I’ve been trying to bring a minimalist simplicity I enjoy in other parts of my life to my wallet for years now. It evolved from the tri-fold wallet, to the bi-fold, then to the card wallet. I’ve toyed with the idea of a simplistic money clip, but I’ve never been able to fit all of my cards in there. I mean, you have your ATM card, 2 credit cards (one Visa, one Amex), drivers license, health insurance card, transit card, not to mention the actual cash needed in the city. That is may paired-down list too! Gym membership card, car insurance card, business credit card, starbucks card… you get the idea. Coin takes care of all of this with it’s

After being pretty happy with iOS6 on my iPhone5, I decided to update to iOS7 after watching their teaser release video. A sucker for clean, intelligent design, it looked like a wonderful upgrade although I wasn’t totally sold on the new color palate. Settings > Software Update > iOS7 is all it took, and 45 minutes later, I had the shiny new iOS7. The whole process was totally painless, easy and intuitive.

I am totally in love with the fonts, small (and large) design changes, but

I just upgraded to an iPhone 5 and love the slim, light feel, however, it seems so delicate! If I was to drop it, I’m sure I would hate the outcome, but all of the iPhone cases out there are horrible! Either they completely cover up the beautifully engineered lines of the phone, or are practically pointless, just adding bulk and weight. Who buys a slim, light phone only to put a bulky, heavy case on it? Finally, a beautiful minimalistic case for the iPhone 5 which only serves to protect! This Mod-3 Design Radius Case for the iPhone 5 is a complimentary work of art. The design compliments the phone with aluminum construction and it’s minimal weight leaves the

Great for traveling, the TripIt app for Android, iPhone, iPad and Blackberry is a lifesaver. Not only does it auto import your itinerary from your email, it organizes it in an easy to read format and adds it to your calendar. Did I mention it is also FREE? It manages your travel bookings for everything from flights to dinners and even provides local maps and weather for your destinations. I have found it incredibly useful on my last trip involving multiple layovers, planes, ferries and car rentals. They also offer a TripIt Pro for those of you serious about your travel which includes flight rescheduling and custom alerts among other perks. Well worth a look! If you are a traveler

After returning from some world travels, I was in need of a new cellphone. Of course the Apple iphone 4 was top on my list, but since I am no fan of AT&T, I decided to do a quick check of the competition.

Don’t have an iPhone you say? Well its only time, so you better prepare by getting one of these iPhone cases by Orbino. If you do have an iPhone then what are you waiting for? Mature your taste and look with a hand stitched Italian leather case, or go with something more exotic, say Crocodile. I don’t know about the pelican cases though, weren’t those close to extinction a little while ago? Starting at $99 from Orbino
