1. The Definitive Vin Diesel Website (members.tripod.com/Gracie_D/index.htm) : Who? You may not know his name, but you definitely know the face (and body) of the bald, muscular actor from such movies as Saving Private Ryan, Pitch Black, and the upcoming The Fast and the Furious. Be sure to check out the filmography, image gallery, and artwork—but be forewarned: You might spend days looking at the pictures. There’s even a Just for Fun section where you can complete a question like “If I could ask Vin any question, it would be … .” You can even read items about the webmistress (she’s Canadian and loves Rosie O’Donnell).

If your idea of rigorous outdoor activity encompasses more than sprinting from the bus stop to Water Tower Place to catch that clearance sale, check out OutWest Global Adventures (www.outwestadventures.com/). This company focuses specifically on gay/lesbian adventures. You can hike in the desert area of Moab (Utah), raft through the Grand Canyon, look for tigers while riding an elephant in Nepal-;and then retire to a relaxing getaway in the Caribbean after all that.
