Help me catch up?

Okay, so after being offline for about a month, I've been trying to catch up with all the stuff I've missed. The two that really have my attention thus far have been the Revolution controller and Greg Costikyan putting his money where his heart is, in Manifesto Games. Talk about something truly commendable.

So, while I'm going back and reading the (literally) hundreds of blog posts I missed, is there anything as equally 'wow'-ing that I'm leaving out?
