A Keyboard for Blondes

You're gonna love this. I'm a brunette, and I love it. Perhaps I love it more for that very reason. The bubble-gum pink keyboard you see above has keys such as "Yes! I Want It!" instead of enter/return and "WARNING: SIZE XXL LETTERS" instead of caps lock.

And such as.

A Ralph Lauren iPhone application? Well, that's all well and good, but we have just one question: What the heck are we going to do with it?

Answer: A lot more than you might think.

Mark Ecko - The Force is strong in this line

A long time ago (1993) in a galaxy far, far away... New York perhaps, a young Jedi designer armed with his lightsaber can of spray paint founded a clothing company in his own name, Mark Ecko. He had a couple of partners, but judging by the lack of their name on the company logo we can only assume they proved to be Sith.

We love this tie. We love how emo the model is. Wouldn't you be emo if you were ripped from your 8-bit world into this crazy, disorganized one? No fire flowers, no invincibility stars...from superhero to plumber in a financial crisis.

T-Shirts for Nerds and the people that IM them

Ah, nerds. We They've come a long way since Revenge of the Nerds- the first one (not parts 2-14 where each consecutive sequel brought greater gains in the fight for nerd rights, but also a never-ending supply of stereotypes and frontal nudity). One need look no further than TV's own "Big Bang Theory" to see how nerds have been acclimated into society. Sociology, people.

NerdyShirts is an online shirt designer and retailer that was made by nerds for nerds, but that won't stop them selling stuff to the rest of you. After all, they are capitalists.

Sonic Fabric: Um...wow!

Call your musician friends. This is one of the coolest things we've ever seen.

Conceptual and sound artist Alyce Santoro invented a little something called Sonic Fabric. Sonic Fabric is made from 50% audio cassette tape and 50% polyester, and the result is 100% rock and roll.

Just ask Jon Fishman from Phish who wore a full Sonic Fabric suit onstage in Vegas and played it. That's right, you can play it. Watch Fishman here.

The sound:

It's starting to cool down out there. As the nights get colder and our nighties get longer, as we add blankets to our beds and turn up the heat, what could be cozier than a pair of footie pajamas?

Jumpin Jammerz has you covered. They have footie pajamas for men, women, children, and soon even dogs! The designs vary from simple solid colors to colorful guitars and ducks and jet planes. Some variations come with hoods, and some come with a "drop down seat" or as you probably know it: a butt flap. A butt flap!

The Jammerz, over ten years old, have garnered a good bit of Hollywood attention:

T-shirts to wear up, up and away!

Not much is bigger in the way of popular culture right now than superheroes, which makes geeks chic and true-believers the toast of the party (which we're finally invited to). It's time for us to blow the dust off our stash of comic books, take a deep breath and shout to the world, "I told you so!" After that it's best to drop it.

As goes popular culture, so to the world of t-shirts. While the superhero has been something of a mainstay over the years, the demand for cool shirts featuring the stars of comic and screen is now amazing (also: mighty, incredible, fantastic, spectacular, and uncanny).

Limited edition 90210-branded iPod Nano

For us, this quintessentially describes "geek-chic": a 90210-themed iPod Nano. Gearing up for the new spin-off/recreation coming to television this fall, CBS (which owns the rights to classic 90210 and is developing the new program), the CBS Store is offering a limited edition 8 GB iPod Nano (available in a full choice of colors, including pink!) featuring the original 90210 cast (well,t he cast members that mattered anyway) laser-engraved the back. You can even customize it by adding your own name.

The iPod is $269 and limited to only 2000 players, so if you want to reminisce like it's 1993, while keeping up with the gadgetry of 2008, order now!

If you want to relive the 90210-resurrection with fashion, Junk Food has a collection of 90210 (the original series) themed tee-shirts that we think are just awesome.

Geek chic tweezers

So, you want to pluck your eyebrows. Good for you. We support that.

Those little hairs are hard to see, and finding the right lighting can be quite the drama. You think you're done, but then you catch yourself in the kitchen mirror and realize that in another light, you're still Frida.

Witness a pair of tweezers with a bright white light built in. Genius!

Hello, and welcome to Web 2.0, the t-shirt collection. We're not really sure what to say about these geek chic shirts, other than we like them, because the company that produces them isn't a t-shirt company; they're a design team that has a store. Or perhaps they're a store that has a design team. It's all so confusing.

We know that not everyone can be a Mac. Someone has to be using a PC for Mac users to maintain their sense of superiority. Those Mac commercials aren't nearly as funny without someone to poke fun of.

We've had geek shirts on here before, and we'll probably have them on here again. Let's face it, we blog for a living, of course we have a soft spot for the wonders of geek chic.

Geek Gear has more than a soft spot. They're all about all things geek. According to their website they are "dedicated to making computing fun with distinctive and unique gifts." We're guessing they find computing to be fun already, but we get the idea.
