Here's an odd idea: in Mac OS X, "Spotlight" lets you search for files and strings and such, but it also does basic mathematical computations: click on the magnifying glass at the right end of the menu bar and type in "2**18", for instance, and it prints out "2**18 = 262144". Is there a way of getting this to interact with Sage, so I could type in "sage(Sq(2) * Sq(2))" and have it evaluate it and print the answer, "Sq(2) * Sq(2) = Sq(1,1)"? (Or even better if I didn't have to type "sage"...) I don't know anything about Spotlight or what would be involved, but you could impress a lot of people if you could do Steenrod algebra calculations, or elliptic curve computations, or other things, straight from Spotlight.
