[TriEmbed] GPRS Sensor Trial at Umstead Park

[Shane Trent]

Chip,

The monitoring looks great. You have made fantastic progress in one year!
Nice work on the cool project(s). I look forward to hearing more updates
about your projects. I am particularly interested in advances in extending
battery life and choices on your wireless data (ISP, antenna, module, etc.)
as your product matures. I also enjoy hearing about your experiences in
taking the project out into the world, interacting with people and dealing
with real-world operating conditions.
