i want to build a little box that has one button. you press the button, and it does this:

- obtains your agenda from your google calendar (or some time management software api)
- prints it out for you on a piece of paper

it must complete the task quickly (under 10 seconds) and reliably (pr[failure] < 1/1000). it must have a small footprint (volume < 500 cm^3).

i could use this to build it!

thanks for the hint, descriptive camera!

neat! you could probably do this with a receipt printer and some pretty basic coding.

that would of course require having it hooked up to a computer. not as cool as a box with a button connected to the internet.

that arduino board looks pretty neat too. thanks for the link.

yeah, the linked item can connect to the internet via ethernet and do it all itself. that would be my goal

i just want a little box by my door, so that i can push a button and get an agenda as i leave in the morning
