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

[Marino Duregon]

I second that. I literally showed up at the workshop, was able to get in on 
the spot and leave with a working breadboard prototype that I can use at
home to play with. That was more than I expected, especially since I did not
added to the 'cult induction' earlier on. Thank you Don !
