I'm not always all about the NXT, there are just several cool contests going right now, this one from LEGO:
NXT NXT. . . ? Are you seeing double? Yes! We are presenting a doubly fun building challenge where you create a robot that uses 2 NXT bricks! We are also giving you double the amount of time to enter this challenge (projects must be entered by June 30, 2008).

Fay Rhodes, LEGO Mindstorms NXT author, is holding a contest to find an alternate foot for a camel design.

Homebrew developer [yaarglafr] recently released this video of his Protein DScratch in action. You can download a demo version here. The program simulates DJ scratching on the DS with an intuitive interface much like the ones on the touchscreen turntables we discussed the other day.
