I just came to stumble upon this blog post and it was kind of interesting and I just wanted to share it with my readers.
You might have heard of Chris Ball. He’s a free software developer who lives in Boston, MA, USA and works as Lead Software Engineer for One Laptop Per Child. He’s come up with this wacky idea of innovating a shirt that shows how many unread email you have. As Chris has mentioned in his blogpost, he got this idea after a while of brainstorming as to do what from the give away electronics (LilyPad Arduino, LEDs, etc.) he got from SparkFun Electronics for $100. His wife Madeleine has helped him up with the design: vertical binary LED layout, the custom T-shirt printing (from cafepress), and all the placement and sewing of items onto the shirt. Check out the video where he’s showing the shirt counting the e-mails that Madeleine is sending. It’s really a cool innovation I must say. Keep up the crazy work Chris.
