Programming ideas?

I've been meaning to get back into programming again since I took a break for about half a year but it still seems that I can't think of anything to program. I can't seem to get a good idea that I'd be motivated towards and actually complete. I'm just wondering what other people are doing or what kinds of programs they have made. Thanks for the help.

Lately I've been a bit of an algorithms and design patterns geek, so I've been thinking of problems to go with those. The Decorator Pattern was a neat project to implement.

Graphics is bit of a hobby of mine too. I can be endlessly entertained by a triangle rotating in a window. If you're on Vista (heaven forbid), DirectX 10 has some really nifty features that are certainly worth checking out.

If you just enjoy the process of programming and don't care about the end result, Project Euler is fun.
