quake 3 engine
x,y,z axis movement
peruse websites as clusters of documents around a server
retain spatial relation of servers (mapped to 3d)
perhaps organize starting with TLDs and work down?
networked
important distinction: this wouldn't be a browser (a window into the internet) this would be the internet

Antibodies
http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/02/1645222&from=rss
Benevolent virus that infected computers globally but instead of turning them into a botnet neutralized things like Mega-D. This would make the internet into an organism with both antibodies and viruses......
similar to this:

but instead of aesthetic, offensively useful.
Pedagogical gains: do I need to list them?

100 Mile Diet Map
100 mile diet is a dietary plan in which you only eat organic food grown within 100 miles of you to cut down on fuel consumption and fight agra-businesses.
No current resource for finding organic food places within 100 miles of you, so...
100 Mile Diet Map would take a location in GMaps and do a business search for organic farms restricted by a 50 mile radius around given location. The map would then take each result and pin it onto itself and draw a 50mi radius circle around given point.

XML Calendar - Google Calendar Add On
Use GCal API to make addon that lets you create a calendar from a given XML feed.
The XML feed in question would ideally (always or sometimes) contain parsable dates and events.
For each event encountered in a new XML post, that event is added to you GCal.
IE,
create a feed (somehow) that snarfs Charlie's assignments and creates homework events for them then snarf the pipes XML feed and post the hmwk events on GCal.
pedagogical gains: learn how to make and write xml feeds, learn how to make google gadgets
[Fitz] Update: Consider using Calendar Gadgets to pick up a feed hosted on quark. The feed will be generated from a script that snarfs Charlie's assignments page, generates the proper fields for the calendar and publishes the feed. The gadget will grab that feed and create the proper event(s).
