I managed to put the image from

We also got a coworker to read every xkcd comic over the period of 3 days. He is now a fan :)
I got invited by Don Thomas to do research with him on MESH (Modelling Environment for Software and Hardware) and Multiprocessor System-on-chip designs. I wonder how I can involve for uber theory-wankerous concept into this. I could just try to rewrite MESH in System Verilog with assertions instead of the custom C kernel it is written in.
