[kwlug-disc] Blurb for the Arduino Presentation

[R. Brent Clements]

Controlling LED strips is definitely on the menu for demos in the

If you have an application where you need something to be controlled or
communicated with in response to some stimulus that can be measured with a
sensor or triggered by a user input, the Arduino platform is a great choice.
