A classic option - some sort of program that processes an RSS feed into legible information. Bonus points if you work out OPML parsing for multiple feeds.

Simple raytracer. Tangible, pleasing results.

do you have any blog to suggest for an implementation?

If you're interested in the topic there is the aptly-named "Raytracing in one weekend" series of free books:
