So I got my R4, but now what?

I just got an R4DS, but I am at a loss for what homebrew to look into. What should I be running on my R4?
I have seen many recommendations here on Mefi to get an R4DS. I have wanted one for a while, and thankfully I finally got one for Christmas. I just don't really know what homebrew projects are worth looking into.
I am well aware of clean rom dumps, I don't need information on any of those. What I am not aware of is great homebrew games, applications, and emulators which I can run on an R4. I can DLDI patch if necessary, thats not an issue.
I wasn't going to ask this question because I figured google-fu would be more than enough, but I have only really found 2 seemingly good games through that, dicewars and Geowars. What else do I need to have on my DS? What do you have on your R4? Are there any games I just can't pass up a chance at having? I have a 2gb card, so space is not an issue so any recommendations are great.

I haven't used many myself, but check out this compatibility list for Homebrew and the R4.

drezdn, I've heard that they can be purchased online quite easily from game suppliers in Canada.

I have contributed samples to the development of Protein:DScratch -- and it's the only piece of software that has kept me from selling my DS lite.

drezdn: I just bought one from an Amazon reseller. No complaints.

As for homebrew, they kinda suck. Some of the emulators are kinda cool, though.
Emulators on DS from wiki.pocketheaven.com
So yeah, I use mine to play backups.
Somewhat regularly updated homebrew site
Seems interesting
Could be another good source
