Oh the Ten Rings thing did not escape notice (I think we grinned and nudged each other every time it was mentioned).
One of my other favorite things was the 3D computer modeling touchable projection thingy Tony has instead of a drafting table - it's anice way to let the audience see the planned stages of stuff in a gratuitously cool way, while keeping with the fact that Tony prefers to work from from models/with his hands over drawing blueprints (I think it's come up in canon a couple times that there are no blueprints or on-paper designs for the Iron Man armor - not just for security, but because Tony does it all out of his head with working models and never drew any). Also, Tony doing blacksmith work in the cave? Inexplicably hot.
And the robot that was clearly Tony's pet is adorable ^_^.
