[dorkbotpdx-blabber] My first dorkboard

[John Brown]

I am running on Mac OSX, but the last system update I had wasn't since
last month.

More info:

- I tried a different port, same problem.
- Running the upload without the dorkboard connected just throws an
error, doesn't freeze up.
- Switched to Windows, and though the programmer is showing up in the
system hardware (following instruction on the website about the
benito7g.inf), it isn't being recognized in the Arduino software.

Seems like I screwed the pooch here.
