[Lab] launchpad

[bentfork at gmail.com]

Thanks for the heads up on the watch I just put in a order for two.  There
is a lot of fun to be had in one package.

As for the launchpad / msp430 overview I'm free to work on it after this
week.  If anyone is interested or has demos they'd like to show let me know
and I'm sure we can put together a great quick tutorial.
