This AVR Microcontroller Based Ethernet Device has had a software upgrade allowing you to use it as a web server…..
‘ This is a continuation of the article An AVR microcontroller based Ethernet device. The hardware is still the same (ENC28J60 + atmega88). The software is now updated to provide also a web-server. Instead of using a command line application and send UDP packets to the Ethernet device we can just point our web browser to it. …. and even better: we add only the web server and all the UDP based functionality is still there. Now you can use both!
Full details and schematics can be found at this link and a kit of parts can be purchased from http://shop.tuxgraphics.org/
Simple demonstration created by Dhananjay Gadre and Anurag Chugh at the Netaji Subhas Institue Of Technology
‘A Small setup to demonstrate the low power and low voltage operation of AVR Microcontroller, powered by a fruit cell, made of copper and zinc electrodes and 2 lemons only. Tiny13V was used for demonstration with an internal RC oscillator at 128KHz with a divide by 8 fuse setting. LED connected to Pin 2 of the Tiny Micro with a series resistance of 4.7KOhm’
The team over at Popular Science have modified an Olimex AVR Development board to operate as a Random Number Generator. Add a mobile phone hip holster and, bang, instant geek.
A handy device to make if your setting up lots of networks on site, as long as you can cope with the funny looks your bound to receive carrying it around on your jeans

PIC PAL TV is a PIC18 based Software Video Processor allowing you to display and overlay graphics and text onto a video source. Looks like it would be really handy for overlaying GPS information or even creating a homebrew games console…
It uses a PIC clocked at 32 Mhz with a 8 Mhz crystal to achieve the horizontal synchronization timing of the PAL system. It is able to generate a 625 line interlaced PAL video signal, with 248 vertical lines. The software is coded in Assembly and C with full sources avaliable from Bruno’s website.
It is a really lightweight design and Bruno provides full system details on his page so you can easily expand and customise it further if you needed to, go see Brunos site at http://www.micro-examples.com for this and more projects…
"The Open Source project Liberlab aims to help democratize educational scientific experimentation through the creation and use of a DIY digital lab at a very low price ( ~ 15 €/$). Liberlab can also be used to learn about robotics, automation, human-machine interface or interactive arts."
Seems like a good alternative to the Arudiono, certainly worth a closer look
