3D Printing
RepRap
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:18357
RepRap is a free desktop 3D printer capable of printing plastic objects. Since many parts of RepRap are made from plastic and RepRap can print those parts, RepRap is a self-replicating machine - one that anyone can build given time and materials. It also means that - if you've got a RepRap - you can print lots of useful stuff, and you can print another RepRap for a friend...

This is a proof of concept for setting up the newly released arduino Yun as light controller. A web server was setup on arduino Yun with support of MySQL and PHP. Light status is controlled with MySQL queries and even when a button is pressed triggers an SQL query, this is the advantage of Arduino Yun’s Bridge, you can interact between the ATmega 32U4 (Arduino side) and the Linino AR9331(Linux side). Below are some pictures of the setup and also a demo video. http://panmen.wordpress.com/2013/10/20/arduino-yun-light-control/

Babelfish
Adafruit's Arduino-based RFID flash-cards for learning language with open source hardware
Learn to make a speaking, card-reading toy! The Babel Fish helps you learn to say words and phrases on RFID flash cards by reading the card and playing an associated sound file loaded on an SD card inside. This project is very straightforward and could make a great jumping-off point for your own awesome RFID and Wave Shield project!
