Five Below is a store where all goods are $5 or less. This toy
is $5 but you have to buy two AA batteries. I bought one to look inside and here is what I found.
Nice little gizmo for $5 but would be more of an educational toy if there was an explanation of the circuit.
At least the kit is a starting point for an inquisitive child.

Arduino 101
This is the official successor to the Arduino Uno, the Arduino 101. Here's the story on the official arduino site. I assume that eventually it will be available in stores like SparkFun, MicroCenter and Adafruit.

Possible successor to the Arduino Uno
SAMD21 Dev Board This board by SparkFun sounds like it could be a replacement for the Arduino Uno, low power but more powerful.

Changing Direction, working with an Arduino
I have thoroughly enjoyed working with dolls these past years, but now I feel ready for a change. I bought an arduino and a little kit to play with electronics. Here's a photo I took at an exhibit at the Italian Cultural Institute in Manhattan. My arduino arrived the same day.

Adriana's Gift
My niece Adriana sent me this lovely doll. On the base it says "Pat Sivec, '94". Adriana has had it and treasured it for years and now she has given her to me, her loving Aunt. Thanks so much.
