I just received my BeagleBone Black from Adafruit. It's a very sweet board and the price is just right. US $45 will get you a 1GHz ARM processor with 512MB RAM and 2GB flash, built-in Ethernet (10/100Mbps), video graphics card with HDMI output port, 65 I/O ports, 4 hardware UARTs. A very capable board for driving the various small projects I have in mind.
The first project I will work on is to replace a Guruplug+Arduino-based project that was driving my projection screen. The setup I had was quite nice, but it appears the Guruplug died after running great for the past few years.
