[dorkbotpdx-blabber] Help getting started on a project. Ideas at the meeting?

[Donald Delmar Davis]

Jason,

Welcome. You might think about the workshop this weekend. We will be  
going over a midi interface which will fit well in this project.

Hopefully someone can step up to plate on the rest of this. This is a  
great group.
Unfortunately the next induction where we cover the basics is in  
january.
