I shelled out $100 a while ago, after arguing with Rich over IRC that a donation system would be a good idea. He setup the sourceforge donation (now there's a different one) and on it went. I guess my insistence helped him take a decision t

It is a know fact that very young babies can regrow the distal tips of fingers when cut off by accident. Human babies lose this ability after a few months into life. Body parts regrow forever: the skin is redone every 30 days. The regrowth,

The field of neuromorphic engineering is rather big. Started off with Carver Mead's book "Analog VLSI and Neural Systems" (Addison-Wesley, Reading, Massachusetts, 1989), and a very cool paper titled "A Silicon Neuron" by Mahowald and Dougl

A similar contest for 5 brands of Tequila (plus a shot of vodka, for the distracted) was done at the Telluride Neuromorphic Engineering Workshop. The outcome was also surprising: second-cheapest Tequila was rated highest by the audience.

Invoking the need of a panel indicates a fear of assuming a responsibility (i.e. diluting it into the faceless panel.) Why not just try it out, and afterwards evaluate? If it works, great; if it doesn't, if possible learn about why it didn'
