Hello,

We're getting ready for Maker Camp on Google+ starting July 16th. There will be 30 days of weekly projects for the whole family. If you haven't checked the O'Reilly Radar lately be sure to read insight, analysis, and research about emerging technologies. Now you can now sync your O'Reilly ebooks with your dropbox account. Set up is easy, and getting your O'Reilly ebooks is now faster and simpler.
