I've been getting more and more excited by the OLPC project. Not only is it exciting technically, it seems like it has huge potential to change the world.
It'll take a few years before the educational goals bear fruit, but it'll have a huge technical impact much sooner. A lot of the cool technology could make its way out to non-OLPC hardware -- displays, power management, networking, security, exciting Python changes... lots of great stuff.
The Daily Python-URL pointed me here. A great introduction to the project, its goals, and the technology.

English, little feller*, do you speak it!?!
I have one thing to say in response to this post (and its similarly techno-babblish predecessors):
I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through
* I'm sure that's what Samuel Jackson really wanted to say.
Bah! My peeps understand me.
