Yes it is. It is all those pictures.

In the presentation, I talked about pneumatic pistons as actuators for things
like back hoes, simulating the hyraulics that are often used in heavy machinery.
I didn't spend time there because I think that their use there is self
explanatory.
My interest in pneumatics is in making complex autonomous pneumatic circuits,
that sequence through a repeating pattern to achieve some goal (like walking or
crawling like my inchworm.) To do this, you have to control pistons with
switches that control pistons with switches..... The moment you try this, you
are doing boolean logic whether you know it or not.
I also have an interest in pneumatic computing as you noticed.
As it was, I didn't have enough time for the material that was presented.

I'm hoping that this winter I'll have time to create a pneumatics web page that
describes educates on all things that are LEGO pneumatic.
I'm very interested in ways to decrease the slope for the web page.... Any
input here would be greatly appreciated.
