[dorkbotdc-blabber] Arduino code for LED cube

[dbrunton at gmail.com]

Well, inspired by Dale, I decided to try out some Wolfram automata in
three dimensions.  They settle into predictable patterns pretty
quickly- not a huge surprise.

Once again, I'm sure there are plenty of bugs lurking in here, but if
you want to see your LED cubes blinky blinky to the tune of one of the
largest egos of our century, this Wolfram automaton is for you.
Remember I mis-wired a few pins, so you might need to change my
numbers 15-19 to 14-18 and re-arrange as well.

Being a Dork is great fun.  Dale, I've got sensors of various kinds
lying around- maybe tomorrow I'll try your idea and hook one of them
up to the extra analog pin.

Night, all.
