you'd think an internet professional like myself would learn to proof
important emails before sending them out.
7pm! the workshop will be taking place at 7pm!
it has been asked if a lilypad would suffice as the arduino - as far
as i know, yes it would. it has the same brains as the standard
arduino, just in a different physical package. the LoLshield will not
work, you'll need your own LEDs to work with.
