Cornell University FPGA Class Projects for 2008

Matt writes "The new crop of Cornell University ECE 5760 projects are now online. Some really cool projects, as well as the previous two years' worth of projects." Since it's mid-December, many other schools, too, have either just let out or are about to; can you point to any other online collections of cool technical projects?

    That's it? Those projects are weak, look at the tetris game. Even an Atari 2600 could do better than that.

    I, on the other hand, have just coded a realistic graphical simulation of an ATM machine in Java. Beat that, suckers!

    Or the FPGA implementation of a bouncing breasts simulator.

    Looks like they should had made a "web accelerator."

    For those that don't know, trepanation is a medical procedure (of dubious value) where a hole is drilled in the skull to relieve pressure, although in this case, someone may have defecated in the opening instead. It's not clear if this is an insult (implying "shit for brains", so to speak), if the poster is concerned about illegal, unlicensed, and unsanitary medical procedures taking place, or if the poster is seeking someone to perform this procedure.

    These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.

    I was disappointed by "All Digital, FPGA Based, Lock-in Amplifier". I was imagining the following scenario:

    Grunt: Sir, we're rapidly loosing market share to Apple and Linux.
    Ballmer: Engage the lock-in amplifier. Muhahahaha.
