Yeah, a friend of mine is.

He's built a video game console kit. hardware is complete, software mostly done, teaching material still to come. What it aims to do is take you through the steps required to build a game console, from how to get a signal on the screen, how video memory and sound etc work right up to building games.

Not yet. I'm trying to get him to get a blog up and running as I think a number of people here would find what he's doing pretty interesting.
