It is not directly related but the discussion reminded me of an 
interesting paper about "liquid computing" I read. It is mainly about 
spiking neural networks and analyzing time series but it has some 
interesting ideas in general - like how to use a cup of coffee for 
computing purposes :) They build on top of a so called Liquid State 
Machine: http://www.lsm.tugraz.at/learning/framework.html
For those interested, the paper is "The Liquid Computer: A Novel 
Strategy for Real-Time Computing on Time Series.",
