Too much Visio and too little programming - what to do?

I've been doing too little programming and too much Visio and Word lately, it's getting to me. I guess I have to think up some hobby project or other - any good ideas anyone? I don't have enough spare time to join some bigger projects on the Net though. I've been through a large project like that already when I spent 2 years coding up the UnrealTournament TC called Unreal Fortress. It was way fun but took too much time.

There must be other programmers like me out there that gets thrown into system architecture land instead of software architecture. Way too many nodes and arrows, and way too few classes and uses ;)

Why not programming something FOR Visio?

I have the exact same problem. I have all the desire in the world to create a sexy, cool C# application of some sort, but I have ZERO ability to imagine a problem someone else hasn't already solved 10 times more elegantly than I could. Who the hell needs another RSS reader or Calendar picker component?
