I love Sopwith 2, an old World War I bombing game. I first discovered it when I got a Nokia N900 years ago, as it was one of the few games available for Maemo.

The first meaningful CGI script I wrote was written in tcsh. I was an undergraduate tasked with turning our wall of paper weather maps into a digital map wall. I wrote a CGI script that allowed people in the department to request certain maps and then would allow me to go in and update the wall's images as appropriate. It worked, but I'm sure if I looked at it now I wouldn't be able to figure out how.
