[geeks] Crackpot project, need some guidance

[Lionel Peterson]

Go out and get Petzold's book 'Code' - it talks about starting with the idea
of expressing information in smoke signals to communicate over distances, and
builds on that real world example over the course of the book until you are
building logic gates with relays...

It's a really good read, and I think a great place to start...
