Summon Uber with the new Amazon Dash button

So cool. In case anyone else was wondering how to get one:

    How can I get an AWS IoT Button?

    AWS IoT Buttons are provided from time to time as part of AWS public events such as the re:invent conference as a “hello world” device to try out AWS IoT. We currently don’t plan to sell them. However, if you have a great use case for the AWS IoT Button and would like us to get back to you if buttons become available for sale, contact us at [email protected]

If you saw Travis on Colbert (which is awesome if you think about it) the first question was "how did you get here".

Travis: "I pushed a button and got a ride".

So here you go. Future, meet the future.

Really cool, my IoT button is on the way.

FYI I wrote a node module to make programming for the regular dash button really easy:

Found a video of the button connected to a LiFX bulb here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1FIHRnco7Y
