I've followed node with some interest for the past year or two, but
I've never really spent too much time actually working with it. A lot
of the focus I typically see online is using it as just another web
framework, but one of the things that has struck me about node is just
how easy it makes writing clients/servers for arbitrary protocols. I
just found out about this group today, and I thought it'd be a good
opportunity to see what other people in the area are making with node?

Well, you've pretty much nailed Node's strength on the head (at least in my opinion).
I only have 1 app in production on node, it's http://pugbomb.me (and there's a link to github in the footer). Yeah, it's a dumb pug website. :)
I just went to NodeSummit this past week (scan through my tweets for notes from the conference, @adunkman). Walmart, LinkedIn, and Twillio have used Node to "front" REST-apis, and have seen significant performance improvements because of the evented nature of Node.
Do you program in JavaScript already?

The only javascript I've written in a long time has been while playing
with node. In the past, I've not really been much of a "web guy", so I
never really had much reason to play with it.

I am certainly not a web guy, either. I have played with it just a
very little, but am most excited about it because of the evented IO.
I believe that it will be the one of the most important programming
paradigms of the next 10 years.
Right now, I just have a recipe viewer in Node so my wife can see her
recipe book and search recipes from her iPod. It is not public at the
moment.

Hubot (hubot.github.com) is one of the more popular projects I know of
that uses node. It's capable of interacting with various chat room
protocols. I've currently been working on a webapp called Jalopy
(github.com/dustyburwell/jalopy) that's sort of a github-lite. Another
neat use of node is as a http reverse proxy (https://github.com/
nodejitsu/node-http-proxy)
