Maybe you've created your own AR program for wearables that shows the definition of a word when you highlight it IRL, or you've built a personal calendar app for your family to display on a monitor in the kitchen. Whatever it is, I'd love to hear it.

I wrote http://idaweather.com to get a better understanding of the local weather where I have a hobby farm.

It's mostly a toy but it has given me great insight into local weather patterns.

Very cool. Was this to learn about websites and sql, or you just wanted to extremely accessibly data analysis?

I created it for the accessible data analytics. It's nice to be able to answer certain questions about the local weather.
