...and then photos of the apartments, just like you'd expect.  No attached nasties, no drive-by HTML, just a totally irrelevant advert for apartments in the capital of Mongolia. 

I think that beats the repeat offender who tries to sell me industrial quantities of automatic curtain mechanisms.  What's your best?

Look up!

The 10th anniversary of the ISS led my, via some forum shenanigans and a big fat Jupiter, to Heavens-Above.com.  My inner spacefan is all a-squee over this: plug in your location and it'll work out locations and times for a whole raft of groovy phenomena, from a regular starfield (ah, so it was Venus and Jupiter that were big and bright tonight!) to the visible passes of the ISS and the Iridium sat-phone satellites (so bright they're visible in the day - next good one is Monday afternoon).

It almost makes me wish I had kids, so I could point up and say, "there's people in that!" -- and then take 'em to NASA's mission TV site so they could see them.  Mmm, science.
