[NCLUG] What should I have on my information display?

I'm looking for suggestions on more things to put on my information display
at home.  See the second picture here:

I have almost half of it still available.

My old one also would display if there was an alert from the Internet storm
center, but I removed that because every time there was one of those it was
always a non-event.  It also used to display caller-ID, but we no longer
have a land line.  I'll probably add some information about our home
network connection, so I can glance up to see if it's saturated or not.

Any ideas on good things I can add to the display?  Particularly things
that I can get off the Internet rather than, say, having to install an
electronic power meter on the house.

Of course, the software that I use to display this is all publicly
available if anyone else wants to reproduce it.  I will say that the Atom
330 ION system I got to put there has a surprisingly loud fan, so going
with a newer Atom that has lower power use would probably be recommended.
The 330 system I got on a special around christmas for a really attractive
price though.
