[dorkbotpdx-blabber] Focused Workshop: Prototyping: "Breadboard A Sanguino" (22 FEB 08)

[Brian Richardson]

I just wanted to say thanks to Don for putting on another cool workshop.  I
think this has been my favorite so far.  It was a good place to stare at
schematics / datasheets and be forced to piece together how to build a board
from that info.  (And also knowing that someone was around to help debug was
good too!)
