1Up.com posted an interview with id's Tim Willits and Todd Hollenshead.  They talk about what's up at id now, like Rage, Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake Live, and some other random topics.

Valve has announced that they will begin hosting select mods through Steam.  The first mods that will be hosted are:

Age of Chivalry  -  First-person medieval combat total conversion.

D.I.P.R.I.P.  -  Post-WWIII vehicle combat total conversion.

Insurgency  -  Realistic modern warfare total conversion.

Synergy  -  Co-op mod with deathmatch and teamplay support.

Zombie Panic: Source  -  Zombies; self-explanatory.

I have not played all of these yet, but I have spent a while in Insurgency and it is very fun.  One of my favorite mods (probably my #1 favorite), The Hidden, is not hosted yet, but hopefully it will be soon.  Either way, it is an exhilarating experience, so download it if you have a Source game.
