Most of my side projects tend to be mobile apps. Find things in the real world that either piss you off or make you wish that there was a better way of doing things. For example, public transport is usually a good source, and any PT company worth its salt has an API you can hit to do something useful with.

Build something agricultural.

Know of any webapps that connect customers to local farmers? Offline we have farmers markets.
