   Hi Nathan–

   I saw from your forum tag that you hail from Austin (me too!), so I thought I’d look you up. I’m glad to see that your first Sparkfun order arrived safely. I’m sure you’ll get a lot of joy seeing those little red boxes arrive regularly in the mail. I know it always cheers me when one appears amongst all the other junk.

   You might be interested to know that we’re going to talk a little about Arduino at the next “Dorkbot” meeting this Thursday up at Cafe Mundi. Come if you can: http://dorkbotaustin.org/.

   Welcome to Arduino-land!
