+SignaturePad as an angularJS directive
+
+Install
+===
+
+The install process is a little more manual right now...
+
+```bash
+bower install -S signature_pad
+bower install https://raw.github.com/marcorinck/ngSignaturePad/master/ngSignaturePad.js
+
+pushd app/bower_components/ngSignaturePad
+wget https://raw.github.com/marcorinck/ngSignaturePad/master/ngSignaturePad.min.css
+popd
+```
+    
+Include the script tags
+
+```html
+<link rel="stylesheet" href="bower_components/ngSignaturePad/ngSignaturePad.min.css"></script>
+<script src="bower_components/signature_pad/signature_pad.js"></script>
+<script src="bower_components/ngSignaturePad/index.js"></script>
+```
+
+Use the directive somewhere in your html as an *attribute*
+
+```html
+<div signature-pad signature="myThings.mySignatureModel" close="myThings.myCloseFunction()"></div>
+```
+
+Then add the module to your list of angular dependencies as `ngSignaturePad`
+
+```
+angular.module('myDemoApp', [
+    'ngCookies'
+  , 'ngResource'
+  , 'ngSanitize'
+  , 'ui.bootstrap'
+  , 'ui.router'
+  , 'ngSignaturePad'
+  ])
+```
