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.

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.
