+* project ideas
+ - HACKER for writing muscle-control programs : Presented with
+   low-level muscle control/ sense API, generate higher level programs
+   for accomplishing various stated goals. Example goals might be
+   "extend all your fingers" or "move your hand into the area with
+   blue light" or "decrease the angle of this joint".  It would be
+   like Sussman's HACKER, except it would operate with much more data
+   in a more realistic world.  Start off with "calestanthics" to
+   develop subrouitines over the motor control API.  This would be the
+   "spinal chord" of a more intelligent creature.  The low level
+   programming code might be a turning machine that could develop
+   programs to iterate over a "tape" where each entry in the tape
+   could control recruitment of the fibers in a muscle.
+ - Make a virtual computer in the virtual world which with which the
+   creature interacts using its fingers to press keys on a virtual
+   keyboard.  The creature can access the internet, watch videos, take
+   over the world, anything it wants.
+ - Make virtual insturments like pianos, drumbs, etc that it learns to
+   play.
+ - make a joint that figures out what type of joint it is (range of
+   motion)
