A few years ago when I was working at one of those dream dot com consulting
firms (play games and eat free food all day then code all night (now
bankrupt)) we had a a big Robocode competition.
It is a really great way for someone new to Java or OOP in general to get
their hands dirty writing code. Its addictive too. I could probably even dig
out one of my old robots if we wanted to have a battle...
People make some really crazy ones - neural nets and stuff, but it is often
the simple ones that win. Go figure eh?
CodeRally sounds pretty fun - might be fun to dust off the old Java skills.

I heard Tim O'Reilly speak a few nights ago. The talk was about trends in
Open Source and computing in general.

However, all of the current killer applications are already there.
Google, Amazon, maps.yahoo.com. . .

His talk was better than my notes but here they are in case anyone is
interested:
