“One must learn by doing things, for though you think you know it, you have no certainty until you try.” – Greek philosopher, Aristotle
Setup my recently arrived Google AIY/Voice Project and am busy going about customizing the interface. Short a MicroSD card but Amazon will fix that soon enough.

Note: Enjoying the Linux nature of Raspberry Pi as well as all the Python tools and use. Clearly a Confluence Project.
Fully assembled Voice Kit.
First, go to Gmail. After it loads, you’ll see this icon called the “Protocol Handler”
in the browser address bar.
Step 2: Click “Allow” in the window that pops up.
Now click the “Protocol Handler” and a window will pop up. When it does, clickAllow, then Done.
This is so cool.
This is from TheVerge, I am pondering it for my Raspberry Pi, which I have to get around to ordering.
Hackers and educators love the Raspberry Pi, and at least a few people at Google do too. For a year, Google has provided funding to a UK program that trains teachers on how to use the small, inexpensive computers in classrooms. This week, Google introduced Coder, a free software download built by a team of Googlers in New York that turns the Raspberry Pi into a tiny server that can host basic web apps for those learning to code in HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Google says setting Coder up on the Raspberry Pi takes just ten minutes.
All you need to get started is a Raspberry Pi, of course, an SD card to store Coder, and a Wi-Fi connection. This being an open-sourced Google project, the software runs in the Chrome browser — what else would you expect? The entire code library is available on GitHub for experienced developers who want to edit to the software itself, rather than just use it to build stuff. Google says it built Coder to be used in programming projects from groups such as Codeacademy and Khan Academy. The software even includes a few web apps that users can get things started with, such as an eyeball that is animated to blink.
