Where can I find inspiration for programming projects?

I am not talking about finding challenges like discussed in another thread on this site.

Does anyone know of good source for finding interesting problems to implement as larger programming projects?

Would that be for profit or self-learning?

I think it would be for the fun of it. I guess that falls into the self-learning.

Thorlund is right.. It's purely for leisure projects.

One Answer:

Make something you need or like to do. Thus your chances of completing the project will be much bigger.

I personally like to make videogames. Take a look here Three hundred game mechanics for some ideas. Or maybe some more wacky generated ideas from Game idea generator

For all kinds of gamedevelopment talk take a look at /r/gamedev or gamasutra
