"Field Programmable Gate Array - programmable logic. You write C like software that when compiled produces a binary file you load into the FPGA. The software describes what you want the output pins to do with given input pin signals. For instance with a clock signal going in - you could make 8 output pins go high in sequence according to your code and these outputs could drive LEDs and you'd have Knight Rider lights! Of course more complex things can me done. It is very different to DSP though. DSP can achieve the same things but it's more of an emulation. Programmable logic is the real deal :)"
Title link takes you to his page on the FPGA which includes more shots and some samples. It has a really nice tone to it. Thanks Chris!
