No couch required this time, but, I'm in Chicago for the next month. If any diyefi-ers want to catch up for a beer/wine/coffee - let me know here :-)

They are a bit rough around the edges, but might be interesting if you happen to be around the block.

Here's something, the UPEC 2010 (Unofficial Propeller Expo Chicagoland) on Saturday May 15

I need to go to one of those one of these times...

After watching a propeller chip generate this VGA video output in realtime with no hardware video support (just resistors hooked up to I/O pins) I have no problem believing that two of them could handle running an engine! http://www.linusakesson.net/scene/turbulence/index.php

There is some crazy stuff coming out of the Propeller world.
