Two come to mind

  1- My first two Smalltalk programs, one a simulation of a Tibetan
  monastery's micro-economic system based on staging sponsored religious
  ceremonies, the second a simulation of interactions with a cultural
  informant for a field methods course in grad school.

  2- A C (absolutely hated the programming language) - Windows
  Developer's Toolkit v 0.9 (absolutely hated Microsoft from that day
  forward) program to measure the cow eyes in order to fit them with
  contact lenses.  It seems that cows with poor eyesight give less milk
  and and contact lenses meant more milk and more ice cream at Babcock
  Hall, University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I did the project.

I have always had fun when working with Smalltalk, whatever the project.
