I have lots of *general* ideas.  What I'm hoping is that I can steal
working code for one or two compelling examples, so that I can spend my time
thinking about how to present it, rather than on dreaming up the example and
writing the code.


Last night I thought writing a simple arithmetic calculator in Haskell would
be pretty cool. Parsec makes it so easy to parse simple arithmetic
expressions. Coming from a Ruby/C# background, that would really impress me
- that kind of parsing isn't easy!

Not sure how hard it would be - but extending the calculator to different
units or to symbolic expressions (i.e. simple variable assignments) would be
impressive.

Sorry I don't have any code to provide :)
