Cool to carry our mailbox in our T-shirt.. Isn’t it??

I suppose that many of us don’t like to be away from our e-mail for a prolonged period of time, myself included. Well for all of us I have a cool stuff to share with. As you can probably find out from this photo, this is certainly a DIY project. Chris and Madeline Ball have posted their work on the MAKE website, and succeeded in their quest of showing the world just how much email that the wearer is getting.

Observe the picture that depicts the process. You can see that it uses an Arduino Lilypad controller, connected to an Android device that wirelessly syncs with a computer to light up how many emails that you have.

Some of you might have noticed that it uses a binary numbers (exponents of the power of 2) to show the number of e-mails, which means you have to add these numbers up to get the correct amount. The max it will show is 127 emails. If you have that many after few hours, then man, you are just way too busy.

I really don’t know why you can’t just get yourself a data plan on your mobile phone and check your emails that way. Still, if this couple can figure out a way to mass-produce this shirt, then it would be the latest fad.

Portable GPS Tracker

This must be one of (if not the) coolest spy gadgets I’ve ever came across. It’s sort of a cross between a USB memory stick and a GPS receiver and what it does is storing where ever you take it on the flash memory.

The Portable GPS Tracker is pretty small so you could either always carry it on you or use it in 007 spy mode by planting it upon a person or vehicle you desire to monitor. You might be wondering how you retrieve the stored info and secret routes; well that’s where it gets really cool.

Once the tracker has done its travels and its back in your possession you simply connect it to you PC and download the data. And this data can then be plotted on Google Earth, Mapquest, maps.google.com and Virtual Earth to show exactly where it’s been, how long it took and how it got there.

I just think this is certainly so cool. May be it has the spy functionality of tracking somebody else but to me it is even more useful for tracking your own holidays and backpacking adventures. So not only can you tire visitors with your holiday snaps you can also show them exactly where you went.

Its really Cooool to work in lappy

Laptops are portable, they’re stylish, and let’s face it: the opposite sex will feel you more sophisticated when you’re suavely tapping out your latest blog entry at the coffee shop. Okay, that’s probably not true, but they are fun to have for both work and to play.

For work, traveling professionals will find that a laptop’s wi-fi can offer them the same conveniences as being in the office by means of virtual private networks. You can take anything you need with you, having remote accesses to your files at the office as long as you have an Internet connection. It’s all there with you, even if it irritates your significant other when you bring work home.
