I think FPGAs are an untapped technology. I would love a book by Manning or Pragmatic called "FPGAs in Action" or "101 FPGA Projects". I have no idea what to do with it besides try to make a bitcoin miner.

Data science and Artificial Intelligence also comes to mind.

I have several FPGA-based devices, in hybrid digital-analog synthesizers. FPGAs allow rapid reconfiguration of signal routing between analog components, which latter deliver much nicer sound quality than DSPs for many requirements, especially filtering. There are also Field Programmable Analog Arrays but I don't have any of those, yet.

  I would love to play with those for synths/audio/effects! Any recommendations on where to look? I look every few years and products come and go. Just now I looked and found this, which looks intriguing! I love to see more about these! http://anadigm.com/apex-devkit.asp http://anadigm.com/apex-devkit.asp

If you're into hardware, robotics, automation then there's a HUGE space for this stuff. National Instruments has made there name here for some time.
