PWM halogen lamp dimmer (FET to drive 12V halogen, up/down buttons or pot->ADC for brightness, EEPROM to save brightness level through power down)

Temperature sensor using DS1820? Could even make a mug warmer with a feedback loop.

I've been having a lot of fun with Python on a PC (or mac/linux) talking with AVRs over serial. Code is really easy (you can do a webserver in about 10 lines of Python) so could interface with any other project via the web, e.g. type text into a field for MiniPOV display, or web page to control lamp dimmer.

I've been looking for an excuse to play with AC dimming/switching using SCRs and zero-crossing detection. Is that too tricky/advanced?

===== Jeff's Notes =====
As of 4/22 it's unlikely he will be a contributor but we should keep him involved in case we need a backup project.
