> 3. Custom NYC subway dashboard, showing me estimated train arrivals for trains at the 2 closest stations.

A friend of mine is a big Mets fan with a home bar; I helped him build a sign that showed the countdown clock for the Willets Point subway stop for that room, which went nicely with the beer signs and other sports memorabilia he & his dad had been collecting for decades.

I also built a FE that scrapes bus/train/light rail arrival data from NJTransit's website (they don't have an API, but they provide some JSON in their web app responses).
