Arbitrary shapes like political boundaries? I am a library trustee for a smalllll library district - that could be an interesting mash-up - geo-coded census data and political boundaries. I...

More good ideas! Although we're not really staffed for generating large quantities of data (Live Earth is doing a lot of that for us)... we're looking for ideas for product...
