A YBox of your own

Maker Faire was a lot of fun (even if I wasn't able to go). I know this because Kent made took pictures, but that's not all, he also milled around 80 altoids tins.
Why would he do that? For those of you that made it, you know that Yahoo! sponsored a table where you could make a Y!Box of your own. What's a Y!Box, you ask? Well, it's an altoid tin packed full of electronic goodness that lets you convert an old junk TV into a device that gives you weather, stocks, rss headlines, or pretty much whatever you want.
And, Gosh, you're full of questions.
Even better than me trying to explain it, here's a link to their site where you, your trusty soldering iron and your lust for pepperminty treats can finally start doing something with those stacks of used tins.
