    Default Got an Arduino... Now what?

    So, for Christmas for whatever reason, I asked for and received an Android Mega ADK Arduino board. One of the reasons I asked for it was to learn some programming, some electronics, and who knows what else. So, I have the thing, but I have no clue what I should do with it or what to do with it next.

    So, two questions...

    -If you have an arduino of any kind, how did you get started with it?

    -What should I attempt to build with this thing?

    I got on-board back when they were first out (ish), and have since used then to build a root-cellar temperature controller, a keypad lock (or 3), QLab controller, RFID stuff, a number of solar-powered data loggers, and more...
