    A true techie is firmly attached to her PDA, music player, digital camera, and other can't-live-without gadgets at all times -- rain or shine, land or sea. Sure, it might be the perfect day to hit the beach, but are those afternoon hours of relaxing on the sand really worth the withdrawal symptoms you suffer from having to leave your electronics behind? Fret not, tech-fiends. The summer months, in cahoots with the ever-evolving gadget industry, bring forth a slew of water-safe, portable versions of your plug-ins so you can stay connected even while in the pool. Chat it up while you float on your blow-up raft with a waterproof bluetooth headset, take underwater video with a Sanyo digital camcorder, and lug all your e-loot in a solar charging tote! Take a look at the slideshow and see how your beach days can get a major upgrade.

    Breathtaking seascapes and beaches, eccentric cultures, and the planet's biggest party destination? What more could you ask for! Summer in Ibiza really means season of soiree, as the beginning of June marks the kickoff for the largest and craziest nightclubs in the world. There's no excuse for skipping the nightlife here, with beach bars for daytime playtime, hot spots to sip and watch the sunset, raging parties for nighttime nonsense, and after party bars that extend the hours of the semi-regulated closing time of 6am. If you're one who's gotta have their party and their getaway, The Insotel Fenicia Prestige is just the place to get the luxury time you need in between flitting about the boundless social scene. This first class resort features its own top-notch bars and restaurants, spectacular views and services, and a spa to spoil you senseless, all making for a secluded kind of fun for even the most zealous of party people to recuperate. With suites galore, who could say no to amenity lists featuring luxuries like "terrace" and "hydromassage shower" epitomized by the surroundings of this immensely beautiful island? The hotel's location says it all, close enough to the hot spots, yet away enough to tour Ibiza's natural beauty. With exhausting hidden beaches and coves to explore via Vespa, even the party-pooper will flip over the incredible Balearic island adventure in store within the outskirts of the resort. Whether it be club or cove hopping, this quickly-navigable, small but bustling hotspot of an island will be the intoxicating getaway you've been craving!

    Vacay Style: Hit the Beach One More Time Before Fall Gets Here!

    I don't know about you, but I'm not ready for summer to end. And, frankly, with September being the best beach month of the year, I see no reason to start feeling like Fall's just around the corner. (Fall, I'll welcome you with open arms when it's time to start my 30-Days-Till-Thanksgiving-Mashed-Potatoes Countdown - until then, back off.) So in the spirit of late Summer vacations and wringing every moment of sun and warmth out of my favorite season, I scoured the Web for the best beaches in the US. Turns out, some well-traveled folks have very strong opinions on the subject! Travel and Leisure, for example, loves Cape Cod, Massachusetts for its prime swimming and considers Pfeffer State Beach in Big Sur, California an excellent nature escape. The folks over at Daily Candy love Cape May, New Jersey and Santa Cruz, California for their old school beach town vibe. And Gorp says you'll see the best sunset at Polihale, Hawaii. My latest obsession? Taking the perilous, cliff-side road from San Francisco to gorgeous Stinson Beach...a 3.5-mile dog-friendly stretch of khaki sand with quintessential California coastline views. Summer's not over yet, baby!

    I'm not sure if it was the new prints that I received from artist Dayna Gedney - or a recent trip to the beach, but I am feeling the motion of the ocean all right these days. Living in Northern California means that the beach on a hot sunny day carries with it a 90% chance that you'll develop hypothermia if you dare to put a toe in the water. Or is it just me? So, let's get back on track! Ocean life and sea creatures - with that in mind, here's some work from the best and brightest in the world of independent design.
