Adam got a Raspberry Pi Beginner Kit from his part time job at BYU

I don't have any idea what this is, but Adam is thrilled.  He found the box on
his desk when he got to work and went to ask his boss if it was supposed to
be on "his" desk.  His boss told him yes to have fun with it and Adam is.

There are three people working on this team, and Adam is the ONLY one
who got one.  One girl asked Adam if it was for all of them. . . . .
Adam is the team lead.

The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python. It’s capable of doing everything you’d expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and playing high-definition video, to making spreadsheets, word-processing, and playing games.

What’s more, the Raspberry Pi  has the ability to interact with the outside world, and has been  used in a wide array of digital maker projects, from music machines and parent detectors to weather stations and tweeting birdhouses with infra-red cameras. We want to see the Raspberry Pi being used by kids all over the world to learn to program and understand how computers work.

Hotel/Motel Facts in the LasVegas area

We got back from a short trip to Arizona on November 11.
We stayed at the Virgin River Hotel and Casino in
Mesquite on November 7.   The place was
packed and the rooms are terrible.
They are small, really small "old" televisions,
with no amenities.  Mark said the room was crappy
 because we got a "no smoking"
room and "they" know people who don't smoke don't gamble.
 We paid $60.00. It was cheaper the day before I made the reservation.
 I think I made the reservation on November 6.  Prime rib was $6.99.
 I liked it, Daddy wanted his cooked different.(seasoning, not doneness.
they got that right)

On the way back I used Expedia to make a reservation
at El Cortez Hotel on Fremont street in downtown Las Vegas.
 The room was $25.00 on Expedia.  The Internet said $18.00
on Expedia but I couldn't make the reservation online and
had to call Expedia.
With Expedia there are extra undetermined charges and
I don't plan to use Expedia in the future.  I will first look on
Expedia for the best rates and then try to call the Hotel
 and make my own reservation.
The extra charges were only $10.00 so the room was $35.00.
 It was a nice LARGE "no smoking" room with a large walk in closet.
It had gold fixtures in the bathroom.  The television was old,
but larger than the one in Mesquite. The problem was the location,
downtown is not the place to be in Vegas. Also the smell of smoke was
 so bad, everything we took in the room smells terrible, including bags
 and my bi-pap stuff and all night we could hear music from the casino.
But it was ONLY $35.00.  Restaurant had prime rib for $10.00.  We both
had that and liked it.

This was exactly what our bathroom looked like.  Maybe a little larger.  Notice glass shower doors.

                                         lobby looks this now.

                                         You could see this slipper from the elevator to the parking
                                         tower.  It was always lit up.
