“You’ve got 8 pins…and one shot”

And since we needed more room in the title bar, we decided to put the shirt we made for the contest on the front page. We decided to put some designs on Zazzle to raise money for engineering education charities and have some great memorabilia at the same time.  10% of shirt costs will go towards charity (the rest goes to overhead of us not having to bulk order or ship to anyone–the cost of easy logistics).

Uia! Eles vão dar um c64 direct-to-tv da Jeri Elsworth!!! :-D Ela fez engenharia reversa do commodore 64 e lançou comercialmente esse brinquedo. Vendeu 70 mil unidades se não me engano.

btw, essa mina é aficcionada por máquinas de pinball. Ela tem 60 pinballs na casa dela...

Exato! Ela ganhou uma grana com esta brincadeira dela!!!

Também conhecida como a "Ruiva do FPGA", a Jeri Ellsworth [1] é uma aficcionada e era (não sei se ainda é) muito ativa em alguns foruns de FPGA, chip design e de "Amiga".  A um tempo atrás vi um interessante vídeo dela chamado "Making Demos with FPGAs" [2] que recomendo ao menos pela curiosidade.
