I use Google now, but I used to use a custom-made start page. It had: * an auto-focus search bar linked to Google * a bunch of links to my most-visited sites * the current snapshot from one of my university's webcams (which will auto-refresh if you hovered your mouse on it) * a little area for a note to myself that I could edit with a password You can see the page at http://mrzwolinski.com/start/ http://mrzwolinski.com/start/ if you're curious.
