[TriEmbed] Hackable Amazon Dash Buttons today $0.99 for Prime

[Pete Soper]

Cool ideas. A panic button for my dad to push while he was living with 
us would have given us extra warm fuzzies as the cell phone I gave him 
was about two steps too complicated in a pinch (consistent battery 
charging being the crucial step zero!)

I noticed on one of the hacking blurbs this thing has stm32 and Broadcom 
radio chips, apparently running Wiced. With respect to that, this 
article about Broadcom selling IOT-related R&D core competency to 
Cypress might be of interest to the group:

But on the subject of the poopy diaper logger in the seminal Dash blog 
on the 'Net. What I want to know is whether my daughter would have 
developed better if, when I logged every ml of formula she consumed and 
every gram of weight gain, I'd used The Cloud instead of a shell script 
and Gnuplot?
