Possible Professional Report Topics

We're in the thick of summer break--a great time to peel your body from the couch, turn off Entourage, and think about the Professional Report. You already spent 42 seconds drafting a half-assed proposal to Day, so another five minutes of deliberation while waiting for an oil change couldn't hurt. While you sort out an advisor and client, might I suggest a few notable topics that would be worth spending a few quarters slaving over? Or do you really care about digitizing Irvine's General Plan that much?

In another post, I'll lay out some cool clients that wouldn't mind taking on such disparate topics (or at least agreeing to paste your photo on the "Company Outreach" section of their website). In the meantime, you might want to start asking around here, here, and here.
