[QUOTE=Mindtwistah;22038703]Make a mathematical program that can show what a variable is if you input an equation. Like if you type in "(15(3x+15))/92=45" it'll return "x=87".[/QUOTE] Like [url=http://www.wolframalpha.com/]WolframAlpha[/url]?
make a compiler for your own programming language
Project Euler (google it) has some fun maths problems you can try if you're bored.
I've seen project Eular, it's actually quite good. Got upto about 90 and now I am stuck...
I got stuck at one of them because I couldn't get a virtually possible way of doing it. Can't remember which one though and I'm way too lazy to go check.
Have some fun and make a movie style application. Like say, something you would see running on a Panasonic Toughbook attached to a bomb, a console based application with menus, ASCII art and some form of randomly generated code / method of "Defusing". If you want it could be a guessing game on steroids. Some form of desktop application / web application that would aggregate a bunch of sources (RSS, Weather, images, ect) and generate an HTML document that's updated every few minutes. Bonus points if it can be accessed from a mobile device.
Create a 3d RSS visualizer, showing RSS feeds in a cube with the news headlines floating around inside of it. Clicking them will bring you to the actual page.
A program that lets you watch history happen (in larger scale). Just a map really, with an additional time-dimension. [editline]06:02PM[/editline] You might run into some storage problems if you store it as a 3D map
[QUOTE=robowurmz;22040704]Browse the internet using an FPS perspective. Use voxels for images. Shoot links to go to the next page. Make paragraphs float around freely, so you can explore it a bit more.[/QUOTE] That would be godly
Literally "surfing the web"
You know those mosaic programs where you seed it with a bunch of small images, then input a larger image and for output it reconstructs the input using the seed images? Well, make something similar, except instead of images you use sounds.

You basically mean Google Reader with extra stuff, right?
