I started working in software development in 1980, by 2004 I had devolved into phone tech support (average call was 15 minutes or less). So I'm a little out of touch, no favors to call in, etc.

I'm depending on me being slower than you. I basically got sucked into this by reading about e*clipse's plan, and having a windfall from selling my VW bus. (That's what Steve Jobs did to bankroll Apple Computer) I'm trying to follow along behind him. e*clipse, not Jobs.

Thanks for that. I was hoping to get a 2nd opinion. The next time I watch it, I'll take notes. So far I get that it's an interrupt-driven four step process, that uses forward and backward transforms to switch frames of reference. He could have used an art student's critique on his 'animations'.

Steve Wozniak famously held an entire floppy disk controller in his head at once. Talent like that needs to be protected and gently encouraged.

The sidebar also shows Teaching Old Motors New Tricks - Parts 1 & 2; another 3 hours from TI. I'll try to find the time...
