lavaps
LavaPS is an interactive process-tracking program like "top", but with a much different attitude. Rather than presenting lots of specific info in digital form, it tries to present certain important information in a graphical analog form. The idea is that you can run it in the background and get a rough idea of what's happening to your system without devoting much concentration to the task. Lavaps was inspired the idea of calm computing from "The Coming Age of Calm Technology" by Mark Weiser and John Seely Brown.
