Ask HN: I got Raspberry Pi. Now what can I do with it?

My Raspberry Pi arrived yesterday. I tested out the Raspbian and Archlinux on it and it's pretty cool. So what all can/should I do with it now?

I've been wondering the same thing. Best idea so far is to run a buildbot on it, but that seems like a waste of its abilities.

I'll use mine to display stats and metrics on a tv in the office, but that's pretty boring.

Probably the most cost-effective way to do so however.

There's a new book by Pragmatic (I personally like many of their books), it might be helpful.
