The first UNIX servers I ever saw were on NeXT boxes named after the seven deadly sins. This helps me to remember them, but if you can't, you can get a t-shirt with animals characterizing each sin - "...what could possibly epitomize Couvetousness better than a frog?" Good question. Now, do you remember the seven heavenly virtues? No? Me neither.

Poor Metallica. Apparantly they're losing so much from the likes of Napster, they've had to sell some other things to get by. And if you think there's still anything there worth saving, you can make a (non tax-deductible) donation to help Lars and the rest of the guys out. So far they've netted $247!

I love to watch eclipses, but nobody is more devoted to them Fred Espenak, Mr. Eclipse himself. He's even got a great collection of eclipse stamps. And if you're fascinated with things beyond our chunk of rock, you'll enjoy Views of the Solar System as well. Pictures of Saturn also make great desktops!
