Ask HN: Raspberry Pi coming soon. What's going to be your first project?

For me, it has to be a media centre.

I'm very happy to have been accepted on to the qtonpi developer program too, building software for use with digital cameras.

I've always been interested in automotive computing, but having a computer in my car has always been impractical... until now!

For only 25 dollars i'd love to have one as mpd client connected to a drive with all my music. It would be fun to have a portable computer and script an interface accessible for parties where people can cue up music on their smartphones. If i really got after it, I could script location of songs i dont have via youtube...lots of cool possibilities.

I'll probably just play with it, but a project I could use one for is a squid / DansGuardian server for our kids.

1. Get ArmedSlack running on it. 2. With the first point done, cheap firewall/network gateway.

One as a web server and one as a toy.
