Taking a mental knife

After looking at the people attending Foo Camp I'm beginning to think that I'm taking a mental knife to what looks like a mental shotgun fight. Check this guy out:

I am researching how neural circuits use specific strategies to compute particular learned behaviors from sensory inputs, and ways to image and stimulate these circuits, in order to reveal the primitives sufficient to drive neural computation.

Check out the big brain on Brett. I hardly understand the fucking words. Though I know Eric would. ;-) More of this type of, I don't know what the hell this is, here.

Then there are dudes that just do an ungodly lot of stuff.

Starting a non-profit educational organization
Antarctic penguin camera [ed: Huh?]
Electronics parts vending machine
$30 swarm-bot
3D tracking system for a toy (really cheap)
A variety of technology educational classes
Finishing my building
Raising our new daughter (just a few months old)

Wow! And I thought I was doing a lot.

Then there is just plain impressive.

These are some hard core folks. This is going to be a lot of fun. And it will also be very intimidating, or inspiring, or both. Whatever. This is going to be cool.
