I used to listen to lots of mp3s on my computer in the nineties, so I built a USB IR receiver that could interpret signals from a remote control and use it to control winamp.
I made a tool that tracks the current and historical prices of all sailboats in the world to look for possible good deals.
I made a website that let me track my student loan payoff (since I had 30+ different loans) that showed the total payoff as a big red thermometer. I also would track the dates of payments and used that to estimate the total payoff date
I made and open sourced an attendance tracking site for a local school that allows students to come and go throughout the day, but needs to ensure they at least showed up and returned before school let out.
I made a tool that would determine the most efficient way to build damage per second on each hero in a moba. It used linear optimization to calculate which items to build and in what order to get the highest DPS.
