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 :-)

While in that part of the world, there is an interesting interesting you might want to stop by and check out. Motor City motors make some really crazy stuff.

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

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.
