I have a month in which to do a project. What kind of project, you ask?
Good question. Perhaps something fun, perhaps something educational, perhaps something mind-expanding. The options, they are endless.

My group and I are looking for a creative project title. The project is for a design class. Our idea is to have a locker where people put their keys before a night of drinking, and in order to get the keys back, they must blow into a breathalyzer to prove their ability to drive.

I'd like to create a project timeline guide that does not have dates. It is a general guide which indicates at what point in the process a certain action takes place. The timeline would actually be more comprised of several different time lines that overlap. Timelines a, b, and c (etc) wouldn't correspond to individuals but rather larger tasks that are occuring concurrently. I also would need to easily be able to export/print this timeline. My question is: is there a free program that I can use to create this? I have access to photoshop and illustrator but I'd rather not use those. I'm using a Mac running 10.5

Are there any good books on MS Project 2007 out there? My brother-in-law, an experienced project manager, has been using MS Project 2003 for a while and is pretty confident with the basics, but he wants to learn more, especially as he's considering upgrading to Project 2007. I'm pointing him to some local trainers, but I'd also like to find some decent books so he has the alternative of teaching himself as much as possible.

I'm about to not get acknowledged for my work on a project I put my heart and soul into for several months (at a junior level). Others working on different aspects of the project at similar levels are thanked. There's still time to change the course of events. Should I approach my boss and bring this to his attention? If so, what's the best way to do this professionally? Suggestions on what to say?

What should I do for my technology-related Master's final project?
-How can I better brainstorm my own ideas?
-Do you have a dream app you want me to implement?
-Are there areas or problems that you feel are underserved by technology?
I have a few ideas that I'm kinda excited about, but none that's pure gold. My
program is pretty technical, but has close ties with econ, sociology, law, et others. Pretty loose
requirements. Hive minds are of interest to me, so I thought this would be a cool place to hear people's suggestions.
