some ideas

Some apps that I really want to write, for various motivations.

feed reader to end all feed readers (infographic headline-aesthetic)
Note that this one is a good candidate for a senior project - it's based on info theory and visualization theory. If I can pick a good concept to base it off of I can design some nice theory-based algorithms (to accomplish the infographic bit) and marry them with a tight AJAX front end. Mmm-mm.

custom, modular, AJAX based logging app for Socrates (w/ rss too)
This will sate my paranoid fears about strange people hacking Socrates (who really needs to be locked down).

Facebook is an OS. It needs better apps. Why not an awesome social2.0 mashy one that's sexy, useful and pedagogical?
