alias_node has a very similar name, which is appropriate since we have a running joke that I built him in my living room out of spare parts. Also, the official news site for The Matrix Online is called "Data Node One", which I think is kinda cool.2. Elaborate on your icon photo? It's Gir from Invader Zim! He's dancin'! Weeee!!! I'm a fan almost to the point of obsession (almost?). Gir is also the name of my beloved PowerBook, and since I consider him to be an extension of me, it fits.
