Hey All!

Happy Friday, Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Black Friday, Happy Raspberry Pi Zero Day!

So yesterday the Raspberry Pi Foundation launched a new Raspberry Pi board, the Zero.

It’s TINY!  And only $5 dollars.  So far it’s a Pi 1 clocked at 1ghz, 512MB of RAM, Micro USB for power, Micro USB for peripherals, GPIO pins but without headers, and a mini HDMI port.  The latest edition of the MagPi is going to include one in every issue.

They already seem to be sold out online, but I was able to get the starter pack on Adafruit for 29.99.  It was worth it since I don’t have a mini HDMI or micro USB to full USB adapter.

Right now I’m full of Turkey, and spending time with family.  I hope you all get to enjoy this time as well.

Have a great weekend!
