I think beginner's should be aware there there are two factions to PSN
members....
Those that take all this VERY SERIOUSLY  and some of us  that just enjoy
building,
trying this and that, and learning.

I mounted a seismometer on the wall of a classroom so that the kids
could see,
but not touch. Of course it saw the wind, and doors closing, and basket
balls
bouncing, but it also saw local earthquakes...  And the kids learned to
see the difference.....

We've also learned from our members, that seismometers have been used to
track hurricanes
and other earth shaking activities that aren't seismic.
Steve Hammond used his to tell when his girls were sneaking in from late
dates

It's not how perfect your device is... it's what you learn from playing
with it!
Break the rules, try your own special idea, and then tell us about it...
