Hydra – make your own video games console
This is so cool - a computer geeks wet dream. It's a kit, that let's you build your own games console, and then program the games on it.
It comes with a bunch of peripherals and tutorials so even the novices can get going quickly, provided you're that way inclined. No doubt the games won't be the best - there'll be no HALO beaters here, but who cares? They're your games.
I am really tempted ...
Starwars + Millenium Falcon + Lego = Great!
Found this on Wired.coms geekdad blog. The geekdad bog is a blog for Dad's who are geeks, and want to keep the geekiness in the family. As someone who is not yet a dad I find the blog very cool anyway... apart from the design (what happened to Doug Bowmans wonderful design?).

I use this simple technique to try to make errors a bit more and helpful for people who have ended up at the wrong place. I'm hoping that not too many people see ...
Legend of Zelda Symphony

I've watched this at least 10 times now. Wonderful!
Ratatouille videos and preview
I mentioned Ratatouille, the new Pixar movie, a month or two ago and I'm still looking forward to it coming out. I fact I got an email from someone recently inviting me to a press screening of the movie so it looks like I may get to see it early... yay for me
I figured I'd look Ratatouille up and see what there is about it online and it turns out there is a YouTube user, clearly set up ...
