If you would like to receive alerts when the ISS is passing overhead go to http://spotthestation.nasa.gov/[^] and sign up with your location.
It is interesting to see it passing overhead knowing that there people on board. You'll be amazed at how fast it is traveling.

Not a lot of use to me at the moment:
"No sightings at this location for this period.
(Friday Jun 27, 2014 through Sunday Jul 13, 2014)"

Be patient. It will eventually pass overhead.

Damn.
I was hoping for a photoshopped Where's Wally, with a to-scale space station.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Sorry, I don't have the talent it takes to do something like that.
Mayby you can give it a shot?

Great. It is coming to this side of the planet. It has been a few months since last siting here.
This last pass was a side shot of the orbit for me. It was only observable for 2 minutes. Usually it is visible for 5 minutes when it is overhead.
I always get a sense of awe when I see it flying by. It travels very fast across the sky.
I try to get the youngsters out to see it so they may develop an interest in science.
Here in the village the only things they learn is rice farming, as well as other types of farming. I try to introduce new things to them.

In Hollywood she did.

I don't know that. Be skeptical about what one reads in the Web.
I was up at the Grand Canyon Star Party last Sunday night when it passed by.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

My CCTV article got the runner up in the "Everything Else" category (WooHoo!) and a Bob sticker should eventually be winging its way across the pond at some point.
The question is, what will I do with it? Can't waste it! Sticking it to a laptop is just too predicatable...
Should Bob make some random appearance around the platform or make a warp speed trip across Scotland on the bonnet of the Merc, perhaps go flying up in a drone.
I don't have the location/resources to send him back up to space with a weather balloon, so that is out of the question...
Hmmmm, thinking cap required. Ideas anyone?

Paste him to the nose of a helicopter?

I wouldn't get near it to do that.....(and don't think the chopper owners would be very happy!)

0. take photo of Bob with a view (from the platform?)
1. Place Bob in envelope with note*
2. Leave Envelope somewhere public with 'OPEN ME' written on it
3. Set up Bob's Travels website
4. Wait
The note needs to explain that the person reading it should take a photo of Bob with a view, upload the photo to the website and repeat the process.
it could fall flat, or it could go on for years...

Getting the not written and probably laminated - easy peasy.
setting up the website - well, why not do it with something you haven't used before (say knockoutJS and Web API) and write an article - which might then win you a Bob and you can double the chances of it all working!!!
