Hi Surya,

Are you able to attend the Dorkbot meeting this coming Monday evening  
(the 8th)? If so, bring the pad and tell everybody about what you're  
doing. You'll get piles of good advice, and I think we'd all love to  
see what's in there...

If you can't wait 'til then, perhaps you could post an explanation of  
your project and a few pictures of the disassembled device to the  
Dorkbot PDX blog? (The more technical details, the better!)
