With MythTV moving to QT4, which has a wider range of functionality on various devices, plus a whole host of improvements - I think things are definately on the upswing for MythTV.

Came across this in my graphics searches today - the Electric Sheep Screensaver which is open-source and uses a distributed model to generate the graphics and an evolutionary model to design more complex imagery.

I've installed it on a computer on the LAN - we'll see how it goes ...

Note: firewall was blocking the 'bittorrent' download option - turned that off seems to be going now ..

This program is handy for creating 3D models of buildings and such on your computer - however it was the ability to add custom photos onto the side of objects, or to use a building of a photo to help create the 3D model, that I was most impressed with.
