Something I found *very* interesting ever since I read a New Scientist
article (http://www.newscientist.co.uk/ns/971115/features.html and the
researchers homepage at
http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/users/adrianth/ade.html).

He used a FPGA in combination with a genetic algorithm to produce some
fantastic behaviour with a small amount of silicon!!!

I know you, Tom, enjoy the idea of playing with an FPGA but probably
doing a emulation (or something similar, such as normal algorithm
evolution) would produce nifty affects.

Happy reading.
