The Raspberry Pi is a credit card sized Linux computer that costs about $30 (some versions are only $10).

Creative Projects with Raspberry Pi (out today!) by Kirsten Kearney and Will Freeman is loaded with build instructions, resources, and pointers to a bunch of cool projects: coffee roasters, weather stations, mobile phones, handheld gaming consoles — 35 in all.
