You know how you've been wishing that someone would finally get around to inventing a stroller specifically designed for your watermelon so you don't have to carry it around in your arms. Yeah, me neither, but someone has done so nonetheless.

Not only does it carry your melon, but it cools it too. Highlighted on FoodBeast, it's known as the Tama-chan, and it will run you the equivalent of about $200 U.S. Unbelievable. But like so many other food gadgets that try to lure us with their innovation and promises of making our lives easier, it's one of those things no one really needs ... but somehow we find ourselves longing for. Here are five other tempting but ridiculous food gadgets.

What useless food gadgets have you been tempted by?

Lately, I've seen a bunch of interesting articles about technology addiction, which is something that fascinates me not only because I publish a technology website for parents, but also because I think it can negatively affect your relationship with your kids and your spouse.

Not being able to put your darn phone away is one thing. But this New York Times article focuses on a study that found the overuse of technology can affect our ability to connect with others.

All the more reason to think long and hard about your technology habits, especially when it comes to your marriage.

If you're an iPhone fan, you'd be excused for not noticing the rise of a new breed of smartphone. Samsung has been selling their Galaxy line of devices for a while now, but they've just announced the S4, a super-slim, feature-packed smartphone that some people think will give Apple a run for its money.

The S4, available in April on most carriers, is less about the form than the function. 

Beer après skiAs we approach the tail end of winter -- and some of the coldest weeks we've seen -- the family and I decided to head up to Massachusetts for a bit of skiing. I, luckily, get to stay in the house we rented and watch the 1-year-old cavort and eat stuff off the floor, but the wife and two little ones are on the slopes with a bunch of heavy duty gear.

What are they carrying? Here are my picks for gear to pack on your trip.

This morning a friend of mine asked me a burning question: What pots and pans do I use on a daily basis? What's safest -- stainless steel? Some women love talking shoes. Me, I love talking pots and pans.

I'm no expert. But I do cook a lot, and I am passionate about my pots and pans. I know -- I need to get a life, apparently, but I eat well! Because my kitchen is tiny I have a very small collection of cookware. I can't afford to keep around anything I don't use all the time. Here's what I consider my stove-top essentials.

Look what the weather is by me!I'm just gonna come out and say it: Some Facebook photos are really annoying. And for whatever reason, they seem to pop up on a regular basis. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing pictures of adorable children and awesome vacays, but if you're debating whether or not to post a photo of your dinner for the fourth night in a row, just ... don't.

Here are 6 Facebook photos that are getting really old.

Politics of gun ownership aside, I thought it would be interesting to address a fascinating (and sometimes frightening) discussion about 3D printing.

3D printers are some of the coolest technology I've seen in a long time. They essentially "print" objects using plastic and allow you to quickly and easily make toys, tools, and spare parts. With a little skill, you could feasibly print almost anything. To be clear, these parts aren't amazingly durable, but they're great for building little projects at home. We have a 3D printer at our house and my son enjoys watching gadgets appear on the build plate.

I'm here in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show 2013, a bacchanal of amazing technology where everything - and I mean everything - is shiny, fun, and new. There is, to be clear, lots of stuff here and plenty of things I could talk about, but I wanted to share a few cool things that I spotted in my travels.
