OpenCamera. Blogged about it because a) it's cool and b) it might interest me to build. 3D printer is coming eventually and Arduino is already here and photography is just so much on my line.

What I considered worth reading during the week and did not want to link separately, collected here and uncommented.
Robot-Will/Stino · GitHub. Since I like to use Sublime Text 2, I should check this out - it allows you to program Arduino under ST2. However, I don't know how well it works with Digisparks, which have different programmers and compilers.
Connecting Arduino to Mathematica on Mac OS X with SerialIO using the SerialIO package under OSX. Sounds interesting for data collection and preparation from sensors.
embedXcode - Home. If you don't like the Arduino-IDE and prefer a larger IDE and work on a Mac, someone has integrated the Arduino toolchain into XCode.
Getting Started with nRF24L01+ on Arduino | maniacbug. Wireless connections for Arduinos that do not directly involve TCP and the Internet - just simple data transfer via 2.4GHz radio. Bookmarked for later.
Arduino Camera Shield | Arduino Based Camera. And more on a DIY Arduino camera. Here is a controller with LCD display to control various camera modules.
Craft Camera by Coralie Gourguechon | mocovote.com. Ok, I want to build this. Definitely. Even if it's only VGA resolution. Just because it's cool. Yes, the camera is more expensive through the individual parts than a finished camera. Still cool!
pcDuino arduino compatible headers. Hmm, not uninteresting - an ARM-based single-board PC with an Arduino-compatible header for connecting and controlling Arduino shields. And the computing power is already quite decent. Just like the basic equipment with interfaces.
usb-serial-for-android - Android USB host serial driver library for CDC, FTDI, Arduino and other devices. - Google Project Hosting. Very nice, this will certainly be interesting when I delve deeper into the Arduinos. Maybe it even works with the DigiSpark. Building control consoles for Arduino projects with Android would certainly be quite practical.
Controlling Arduino with Android using Processing. This way, you can quickly build a control system and a matching console for the Android phone with simple sketches, without having to pull out the big IDE. And since the Arduino environment is also based on Processing (at least the surface of the programming environment), it should be easy for both Processing and Arduino fans to understand the other side.
328eForth. Hmm, whether this will catch on is questionable. Commercial Forth systems have rarely been successful. On the other hand, the description sounds quite interesting. But somehow, I would almost rather cobble together a Forth myself.
AmForth: Atmega Forth. Wow, cool! A Forth for the ATMega chip used in Arduinos. I think I should look into this for my Digisparks to see if I can get it to work.
Industruino. Cool project that provides Arduino solutions in a housing for wall and rail mounting. Comes with control buttons and LCD display at a very reasonable price. Currently still in beta and without I2C support, but already interesting if you want to have an Arduino in permanent use somewhere.
Pinoccio - A Complete Ecosystem for Building the Internet of Things | Indiegogo. Another exciting Arduino-compatible project. Compact Arduino boards with integrated mesh networking and gateway capability via WiFi to the Internet. All of this as open-source hardware and without a mandatory central server.
Permaduino | Indiegogo. Interesting project: an Arduino-compatible board designed for permanent installation but still has a prototyping character (so it comes with a breadboard for wiring additional elements). The idea behind it: prototype with one of the classic systems and then rebuild it with this board to use it permanently - video cassettes with 8mm casing are used as the housing.
SPT100 Pan & Tilt System. Ok, I think I know what I need. With a device like this and, for example, a camera with simple image processing behind it, you can build a follower with which you could, for example, make sky observations. Or automatically created panorama sequences for Google+. Or optical area monitoring with detection and logging of changes. And it's not particularly expensive either.
Reflow Controller Shield Arduino Compatible - Rocket Scream. Oven control with Arduino. In this case for the optimal distribution of solder over circuit boards - but you can certainly modify this for optimal baking results or for curing prototypes or whatever. Pretty cool.
MariaMole | dalpix.com. If the normal Arduino IDE is too simple for you (although I would say that the simplicity is the great bonus), you can check out this project. This is a rather classic IDE with which you can build Arduino programs.
The Ruggeduino. Might be interesting when I actually fry my upcoming toys ... (which, given my electrical knowledge, can happen faster than I would like)
