Inbox Maternity Shirt

I love geeky shirts, especially when expectant mommies are wearing them like this “Email Inbox Two” cotton shirt for twins maternity.  Spiffy Baby has tons of cute shirts for  women who are not afraid of wearing form fitting shirts during their pregnancy.  The shirt is 100% cotton and made to fit most bellies through pregnancy according to the site.  You can find this Mac-chic shirt for $42 at Spiffybaby.com

I stopped by the Moscone Center yesterday, and took some video while I was roaming halls. Check out the video of my experience. It was a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone who is in the video, and thanks to Pornophonique for the awesome song. You can listen to this geeky album here.

Diana Eng’s Fashion Geek book out next month

It’s been a while since we’ve talked about “Project Runway” alum and geek fashionista Diana Eng, hasn’t it? Last time we saw her was at the Maker Faire 06′ and then we heard she won the Yahoo Hack Day contest. Well the budding fashion designer has been busy working on her new book called Fashion Geek: Clothes Accessories Tech which is due out next month via Amazon. In the book, you’ll learn how to make Flowerbud Earbuds, digital lockets, nightlife necklaces, a light-up petal purse, and even a lightning bug costume.  It all looks so geek chic.  The book is available for your Kindle too, but you still have to pre-order it.

Siriano unveils vest for LG Lotus

I’ve never been to Fashion Week in New York, so I was really excited when HP invited me to meet Vivienne Tam and LG invited me to meet Christian Siriano in the same week.  As you know, Christian Siriano partnered with  LG and even designed a fabulous scarf for the Lotus that debuted at Fashion Week last year. This year, the ‘Project Runway’ alum did it again by introducing a new a accessory for the trendy Lotus.  On Thursday, I headed to the Tents at Bryant Park to see the new fashionable garment make its way down the runway in the form of a beautiful satin chocolate-colored vest being worn by one of the models. The phone was half-hanging from her right hand pocket, which from far away didn’t make much sense, until you see the gold chain that clips to the phone to keep in place much like a pocket watch.  It’s not uncommon to think of phones as a time piece, but clipping one to the vest like a pocket watch is not the most practical way to carry a phone if you ask me. Nonetheless, the vest is as trendy as the Lotus, and I have no doubt this garment will also be a hit among Siriano fans.

Amazon may launch new Kindle in February

If you’re an avid reader, then hold off on all the other Valentine’s day gadget ideas for now because  the New York Times is sure that a new Kindle is on the way.  Amazon has not exactly confirmed the rumor, but it will hosting a news conference at the Morgan Library & Museum in New York on February 9th.

If the rumors are true, the revamped Kindle 2.0 would have a better interface and operating controls.  Boy Genius Report had apparently gotten some spyshots of a Kindle prototyp last year with a slightly different keyboard, a joystick that replaces the scrolling wheel, and smaller buttons.

Other rumors  circulating since last year include a Kindle version for college students that would come in different colors and have a bigger screen to accomodate textbooks, although I wouldn’t hold my breath for that one.
