So I got an Arduino Uno last week and am having quite a bit of fun figuring out exactly what it's capable of. Could anyone suggest some interesting beginner projects for me to have a go at and maybe provide links or instructions?

I know there's sites like instructables, but they have so many tutorials it's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff! Thanks in advance.
