Hi Casey,
Here are a couple RasPi ideas, maybe we can make some money off of building them/selling the hardware/selling pre configured memory cards.
Make a RasPi based file server with an external USB hard drive.
Make a RasPi jukebox. Music can be saved on a large memory card or an external USB hard drive. I'm not sure how good the sound capabilities are on the RasPi so that could be a problem.
Build a home security system based upon the RasPi.
Build a small all-in-one computer (maybe for the kitchen) by attaching the RasPi to a small display. Would have to come up with how to have/not have a keyboard.

Hello Squeakers!
My job search is turning up dead ends, hurry up and wait, and unfathomably boring prospects.
Screw all that! I want to do something cool.
I'm thinking about doing a KickStarter, but almost all of my ideas are either a) stuff no one else wants which only I could possibly think would be cool, or b) overly ambitious. The words Andreas used to describe my last idea: "a bit grandiose." Gift for understatement at times.
So I'm looking for something which could be completed by one or two geeks in six months to a year, which people actually want, to be implemented (at least in part) using Squeak, and to be released at the end under the MIT license.
I've floored my expenses, so I can make my own labor (relatively, for a guy living in Seattle) very cheap. By floored, I mean the room I sleep in isn't even tall enough to stand up in -- I do not presently meet the definition of a free-range chicken -- and I've disconnected my cellular service. I want to be an efficient engine for getting things that matter to me and other people done, rather than go on being some tool used to ship lucrative enterprise crapware.
So here's the $x question: what do you want me to do? I have a Raspberry Pi on order, so bonus points if you can work that in somehow.
The person with the best (realistic) idea will be credited for it.
Inspire me! And thanks for reading all the way down to the bottom of this message.
Casey
