I was thinking health data might be a nice change. I found this data set, https://www.cms.gov/research-statistics-data-and-systems/statistics-trends-and-reports/bsapufs/inpatient_claims.html, which looks like a good candidate. It has 2.4 million rows (more than excel could handle which is good) is is an 11mb download. There's also a 2008 dataset and a 2010 dataset which might be interesting to compare
I'll explore over the next few days/week and validate that it'd be a good candidate An app key workaround for jd would be a nice idea.
