$55-$75 Wi-Fi enabled Arduino:
http://asynclabs.com

and code that lets you talk to it by REST and it returns JSON
http://code.google.com/p/arduino-json/

I just had about 6 ideas in the last 2 minutes of things I want to
build with them.

7

no

10!

Hell, some of these could be sellable products!

Between this and ~$100 android tablet mib The future is going to be amazing!

I've seen the Blackwidow before but the wifi shields are awesome. Adding 16Mbit flash to the shield makes it so useful for data logging or bigger webpages. Great find!

I think this sounds like a good Thursday evening brainstorming session. Now we just need an app store for physical products and widgets, and a cheaper distribution system.

Care to share some of the ideas you had? I'm in need of some good
project ideas.

IR thermal sensors aimed at the burners on the stove along with a java
script program that reads them and can start timers, create estimated
cooking times based on weight and temperature and sound alerts. I'm an
idiot at cooking and would love to see on a time line a recipe laid
out and know things like water being about to boil.

For home automation rest creates an easy interface for programs to work with:
http://myhouse/living_room/lighting
json: lamps:45,sunlight:16

http://myhouse/motion_detection
json: livingroom:0,bedroom:1,

http://myhouse/doors
json: frontdoor:closed,basement:open

and so on. anything related to the house can be monitored.
thermostats. doorbell presses. Events can be sent back to a home
server by rest also:
http://myhouse/doors/basement?open

Clamp ammeter circuits are kind of easy to build and the REST format
would be a good way to interface a circuit breaker to a real data
gathering application.

There doesn't seem to be a reasonable wireless midi link yet. one that
can go device to device would rock, one that uses RTP so it can show
up as a midi device in the mac or to OSC. Not being chained to a
tangle prone midi cable is the keytar players dream!

AV switcher and ir remote emulator with a sweet web interface also
with composite screen menu.

Tux Droid compatible knockoffs.

oh, even stupider things: ultimate web enabled cat station. weigh the
bowl to see if it's empty. remote control for laser pointer gimbal.
gas sensor for venting kitty litter.

wireless mood light display

twittering scale/blood pressure cuff/oxygen levels.

twittering gym equipment.

led game board.

Adafruit has a great tutorial on how to use XBee radios to make a
wireless MIDI link:
