[dorkbotpdx-blabber] GreenGoose wireless sensors.

[Collin Oldham]

Hi Brian,

I'd love to learn more about your sensors! When I was at CCRMA down at 
Stanford, we did a lot of experimenting with accelerometers to enhance 
musical instruments, but the hang up was the bulky little pcb, and the 
wires running off to a microcontroller that was hidden up your sleeve 
somewhere. It would be great to be able to put a wireless sticker on a 
cello bow and capture accelerometer data that could be mapped to musical 
gestures.
