    Create a system that will connect to a satalite in space that has the capabilities of making someone close to you combust and there blood will splatter in such a way it will tell you you have new mail.
    or you could just devise a page that allowes you to check e-mail from awaywhere, like www.mail2web.com except its is wml compatable (wap) and can pick up on the browser in question (html or wml ) and send the user a page informing them of their e-mails.
    Not as hard as you would think, you would just need great hosting options.

    Why not do a 3d version of tetris/tetrinet that has multiplayer (network) capabilities. Lots of algorithms which means lots of fun!! Fun while you code, what next!!

    Engineering? How about something to do with placing supplies (boxes, crates, etc) in a large store room?

    Logistics are an NB part of todays market/ military.

    Look up KBR. its Kellog, Boon, ans something begining with R. Its the civilain contactor for the US Army.
    Try to make a system that takes care of the logistics of such a company.

    design the perfect hammer, not quite engineering realted but god i wish someone apart from companies like eastwing would make a comfortable hammer.

    On an engineering related topic, design a chuck for a lathe,
    design a soldering iron that allows good tight soldering,
    a cd storage system like a spindle that stores mass amounts of cd's.

    thats about it for the moment.

    Could try desinging a workin version of Homer's auto-hammer!!!!

    But seriously I'm gonna design a load of location devices (used to line pieces up for identical drilling positions etc.) and test em on the laptop, then make a an auotmatic presentaion of the tests being carried out to be displayed on the big screen. Works like a PowerPoint slideshow only it moves the objects around on screen in full 3D exactly like you asked them too. Pretty kewl.
