[Liverpool] Arduino & openframeworks workshops

[Adrian McEwen]

Cool.  I can definitely recommend trying out the Arduino if anyone 
fancies getting into ubiquitous computing or "the Internet of Things".  
Shame it clashes with Barcamp Liverpool, although if I end up talking 
there I'll no doubt touch upon Arduino-related matters :-)

And I'm thinking out loud here, rather than making any firm commitment 
;-), but would a workshop on getting started in blogging, or a "social 
media surgery" (drop in with your blog/wiki/photo-sharing problem and 
get advice) be of interest?
