Grove - Arduino Starter Kit Plus [Product]

I discovered another Arduino sensor start kit today via an email from MassDrop. MassDrop is a site which promotes group purchases of products in order to give everyone a lower price.

if you aren’t keen on using MassDrop, you can pick up the same starter kit directly from Amazon using the links below.

This kit does NOT include the Arduino board itself, but it does come with the Grove Shield which attached to Arduino Uno or Arduino 101 and provides solder free connections between the Arduino and the sensors. This might come in handy if you are working with kids, as it means that can’t really connect up the sensors in a way that might damage them.

From Amazon.com...

Grove is a modular electronic platform for quick prototyping. Every module has one function, such as touch sensing, creating audio effect and so on. Just plug the modules you need to the base shield, then you are ready to test your idea buds.

This Grove Starter Kit Plus is a upgraded version of our Grove Starter Kit. We included more frequently encountered modules in this kit to support your concept buildup. Meanwhile, we totally refreshed the whole image of this kit with eye-catching green and user-friendly booklet and stickers. If you were ever held back by the serious face of electronic modules, then it's time to review the point and discover the new face of it.

Shared calendars are one part of an organized family

by Douglas E. Welch , techiq@welchwrite.com 206-338-5832 Reader/Listener Line As a parent with a school-age child, I often hear other parents bemoaning their disorganized existence. Along with the busy schedules of two working parents you might have art classes, karate classes, Little League, soccer and more. Add in more than one kid and organizing your life can quickly become a nightmare. This is exactly why one of my most important organizing devices is a shared calendar that reflects all the activities and events for everyone in the household...and I do mean everything. If someone -- is required to be somewhere -- at sometime, it goes into the calendar. If we are given a calendar that reflects all the events for a particular activity (say, Little League), all these events immediately go into the calendar, along with notations on whether we are providing the team snack, working in the snack bar, etc. Even events that occur anytime during the day, like family birthdays, and other rem...

Google Docs adds templates

I have started to move away from using Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc) in favor of online tools like Google Docs . Even as a computer consultant, I find that I use probably less than 10% of the features in any of these projects. One feature I really like in Google Docs is the easy, online file sharing that also allows you to edit simultaneously with someone else. Today, Google Docs added some templates including business cards, brochures and more. At the moment, it looks like they are rolling out this feature over time, so you might not yet see the templates on your account. When available, you will find the templates under the New... menu item. From Open Loops ... Today, Google quietly rolled out a new feature for their Google Docs Applications: Templates! It's so new that it isn't even listed on the new features page at this time. When one opens their Google Docs account and chooses to start a new document, a new "From Template..." command is pre...
