Default DIY ideas for Raspberry Pi?

Kind of reminds me of Uncle clive and his use the zx 81 to control a nuclear
power station ideas.
The point I think is to get people to learn the language of python or
however its spelled. Its very powerful, but not that intuitive like a good
basic could provide to get the kids sucked in.

Since the Raspberry Pi will be with us soon-ish (well, about six weeks I
am told, for mine) does anyone have any interesting ideas about what
they might do with it/them?

I've heard of car computers, TV boxes, PBCes as ideas...


PBC = PBX


All of that I can do with a nicely cased repurposed thin client PC. And
there are thousands of those scrapped at prices next to nothing.

I think (but hope not) a number of them are destined to a place in a
lonely drawer shared with long lost dusty socks and broken iPods...
