HDMI-CEC Interface - interact with your TV

HDMI cables carry several signals, video, audio, hardware identification, and a low-speed bus called CEC (Consumer Electronics Control). The CEC bus connects every device plugged in with the HDMI cable. If you've turned on a BlueRay player and the TV magically turned on and selected the player, you've seen CEC in action.
If anybody has written code for the mbed to play this game, I haven't found them yet, so I'm about to embark on this adventure. But how do you connect the mbed to HDMI cable? For this I built an HDMI-CEC Interface.
If you have ideas or would like to pitch in, please let me know.
