   I'm not sure what any of these machinations mean, but maybe good news for Arduino. http://makezine.com/2017/07/28/arduino-acquisition

   This little !arduino compatible GSM unit looks pretty cool, and probably has better support than other things since it was made by the guy selling them.

   Apparently, The Banana Pi group makes a GSM-enabled !arduino Mega-compatible board with built-in display and transceiver. 
   
   It's pretty cool looking, but the downside is how much support is there? Probably limited, although hopefully it should act like a standard device...

   The completed robot and a happy boy. It's a photosensitive robot. A little more complex than one of Braitenburg's vehicles but fun all the same. https://gs.sdf.org/attachment/292880

     @hobbsc I'm glad to see you doing these kinds of projects with your kid. I tried to get #sonOne to do such things with #GS1 and #GS2 about 3-4 years ago (even bought expensive !rpi and !arduino project kits for them all), but it did not work out. Maybe at high school and middle school age, they were too old for "togetherness" already.

     @lnxw48a1 perhaps.  i wouldn't do it if he didn't ask, i think.  i try to include him in things i would normally be doing and sometimes he wants  his own stuff related to those hobbies.  with the exception of a traumatic taekwondo class this morning, he's sat in front of the idiot box all day, so i turned it off and decided to interact with him.

     @alpacaherder @hobbsc At least on the West Coast, they were heading for the grave before they sold their first pager or cellphone. When the emphasis changed from skilled and knowledgeable employees to employees who could sell. What was that, the middle/late #1980s or early #1990s?
