One of my favorites to ask as an interviewer: "Tell me about something you've worked on recently that you're excited about"
I've gotten a pretty wide range of answers, both technical and non-technical related. Getting candidates talking about something they care about helps to lighten the mood/stress of an interview and they're more likely to be able to answer any follow up questions I have about the project than if I were to ask them a more direct technical question on the fly.
