[Cyborg] electrostim!

[Eric Boyd]

That dude is awesome.  I bought his book (it's in the sensebridge bin, at the back on the right hand side of the opposite side of the bookshelf).  Also, I talked with him for several minutes about the North Paw display and potentially building a TENS version... and I took notes of his talk at the Arse Electronica workshop.
