• I'm a sucker for stuff like this: Stellarium. If the sky weren't blocked by clouds right now, I wouldn't need this thing. It shows the sky in lovely 3D rendered splendor, with constellation outlines and artwork. Works on a lot of different platforms, including Windows.

  The only problem is that my iBook has an 8MB ATI graphics card built in, so I'm seeing text and garbled graphics flashing across the sky. Time to fill out a bug report, I suppose... (That's one of the nice things about open source software. You can tell them it doesn't work, and they might just fix it.)
