Every week, have some cool algorithm that does some strange and wonderful thing in less then 200 lines of code. Alot of screen savers fall in this category, and basic games that come packaged with every OS on the planet (minesweeper, plumber, tetris, etc...)
These also somewhat fall as a tutorial as well. Many times, a 100 line game, as simple as it is, is a great way to test using some new UI Toolkit, or a way to play with a new programming language. "Hey, If I can program SuperDuperScreenSaver78 in Cobol, then I must know the basics of the langauge pretty well."
It's also just cool to see the genius of other people's code every now and then.
