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.

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
