Are there any hardware hackers in the crowd?  I would love to hear
about the crazy interfaces anyone has connected to Chuck.  I've
started an experimental music/multimedia group here in NYC quite
recently and people have some interest in using computers with
homebrew interfaces.  (By the way, I'm introducing them to Chuck  ;-)
)  Anyway, I'd love to hear some anecdotes about adventures with Chuck
and human interface hardware.  Or pictures?

Oh, and anyone in area who wants to participate is more than welcome.

Cheers,
Mike
