No, not a berry pie, raspberry pi!

I know that many of you like to play with geek toys and some are quite amazing at it. You may have heard about the new raspberry pi zero, a $5 computer. They sold out almost as soon as they opened ordering.

However, there is a back-door way to get one if you are willing to subscribe to the magicpi magazine. https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/

I received a raspberry pi 2 on Monday and am presently working on developing a framework for writing your own operating system for it. If anyone wants to collaborate or such, let me know. I am hoping to use this in spring term for my operating systems class. In that class, I have students rewrite a simple unix-like operating system to make it, well, less simple.

Anywho, wanted to pass on the info about the zero and the magazine in case anyone was looking to snag one.
