Those crazy Sparkfun guys


Sparkfun is giving it away for free again this year! Last year their servers were so overloaded that I never got past the log-in page to try for the free goods, it was quite a bummer but a good lesson in server traffic. This year I am excited to say that I have managed to wait out the heavy server traffic and pick up a customer loyalty credit! :D I've been a member for 4 years so $40 worth of electronics gear will be great fun to have, I think I have an xbee mesh network coming up i my future, that should be fun when I add my GardenDroid and future home automation system all reporting back to my web server.

Thanks Sparkfun! [I'm sure I'll go over the 40... ;)]
