Hackaday Prize Entry?

[Travis Smith]

OMG,

According to my email from HAD today, they heard from such far-flung places as Omaha, Nebraska!

So, I'm wondering what the results of your weekend brainstorm were:  when I look at this year's entries to the 2016 HAD prize, I can see Kevin's NESPi at the top of the list.  Any other efforts going on?

In other news, I'm still interested in teleconferencing with you guys if you're ever doing something on a Friday or Saturday afternoon/evening.  Sorry...those are the only times that seem to work for Tokyo time (its as if 10 voices suddenly cried out, "Who is this Travis guy?") 

Anyway, I can participate if software contributions are open, but otherwise just call me curious. 

Later,

Travis

I entered the KR1000 contest they had earlier this year.  I won and received one, but never received the email with the links to the "behind the scenes" information (how to use it in the Arduino IDE, packages to use with the integrated WiFi, etc).  A lot of people complained about this, apparently it was pretty spotty being sent out - my MKR1000 just showed up one day without any email or letter in the package.

My idea was to use the MKR1000 to make my old IBM Model-M keyboard USB and BlueTooth (add-on board), and also make it integrated with IFTTT and/or twitter.  Sadly, between trying to get basic programming done on it and then getting "life things" going on, I haven't had time to get back to it. :(
