A lot of hobby projects have been replaced with microprocessors, since 
they are so cheap (like $2.00 ~ $10.00). 
One good list I am on discusses various uses of the Atmel AVR chips for all 
sorts of things, and just last week had an in-depth discussion on making your 
own pc boards.  http://www.mcselec.com/bascom.htm

There are also lots of PIC projects, and Basic Stamp stuff. 
You may want to check out http://www.nutsvolts.com, a good magazine 
for this type of thing, as well as http://www.circuitcellar.com

As far as local groups, I can't say; I'm not very local to Atlanta any more. 
My first suggestion would be to contact someone at the Atlanta Radio Club: 
http://www.saf.com/arc/cpind.htm for info on possible special interest groups.
