Hi,
I've been looking at a GPS synchronised data logger for a while using a Basic Stamp BS2PE, but got to the stage where was running out of RAM and program space. Also as a Linux user it is difficult get BS2 programming to work reliably.
I've spent quite a few hours transferring the Stamp program to the MBED and have been really pleased with how easy it is to use the MBED compiler from multiple computer platforms.
A bare-bones version of this program can be found here:

Presently, it reads the time and date every second and if it the time is zero seconds it takes a sensor reading and prints it out. It doesn't use the MBED GPS library because I needed the $GPRMC to supply time and date. All the other data strings except $GPRMC are disabled. Eventually, I would like to send the sensor data to a server via the LAN interface (but haven't worked out to telnet to a particular port using the MBED LAN interface!)
One really useful Stamp feature I find difficult to simulate with the MBED is the PBASIC SERIN command, I'd be really interested in hearing if anyone has any ideas in how to replicate this in C++.
