Arduino RSS reader (revision 1.1)
An updated - and better quality - video, plus some slight improvements to the code.
A hacked-together RSS reader outputting to a 16x2 LCD on an Arduino Duemilanove, using the example serial LCD sketch and a Python backend to download, parse, and provide the content over USB.

Python backend based on TINYenormous' Facebook profile script here:
