iGoogle
Despite the fact that I started using Google as my homepage because it was little more than a search box on a plain white background, I've been using the 'iGoogle' homepage for a while now. It lets you customize the page somewhat with themes, but almost all of the themes are cutesy: little cartoon animals doing something different depending on the time of day, making tea, gathering berries, what have you. Google is finally trying to break into the adults-who-don't-have-hello-kitty-pencil-bags market, and added a 'Solar System' theme. Different picture depending on the day, quite tasteful in my opinion. They have images of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. No Pluto, no asteroids or comets, none of the jovian moons (or any moon other than THE moon for that matter,) but still a nice spread. They have 10 images, but there are only 7 days in the week, and I'm guessing that some of them are either unused, or not every day of the week will be the same from week to week.
