You know those people who constantly sigh over how full their e-mail boxes are, simply as a way to demonstrate their immense importance? Well, now they can wear their inboxes on their sleeves — literally — with the e-mail counting T-shirt. This snazzy little number was created by Chris Ball , a software developer and engineer who dreamed up the idea with his wife, Madeleine. The shirt has a built-in counter that displays how many unread e-mails Chris has with the help of an LilyPad Arduino , a Bluetooth dongle and an Android phone. (Check out the video below to see it in action.) You can also yoink the source code that runs on the LilyPad and the Python script running on Bell’s Android here . Thanks, Ball! Now I can not only rudely ignore my friends by checking my e-mail on my Droid at social functions, I can also warn everyone right before I execute said social slight.
