First, on a recent episode where a guest talked about the overuse of brands, Steven Colbert brandished a bottle of Play-Doh cologne. And I thought, really? That’s got to be some kind of joke… but I was wrong.
Next, some funny and some scary church signs from around the US. I particularly loved driving along Rt 15 in Pennsylvania where every few miles you’d have a church, then a strip club, then a church, then a porn shop, then a church sign condemning pornography in front of a strip club, then a fireworks store…
Finally, a call for all astronomy writers, bloggers, and PR folks from Pamela Gay, the Star Stryder, for a cool International Year of Astronomy project called “Portal to the Universe.” Sounds like a fabulous idea!
This new website, slated to launch in beta on December 1, 2008, seeks to be a one stop shop for finding out what’s new and what’s being talked about in astronomy. It is not going to produce the content, however. It’s going to help distribute other people’s (your?) content in new (and hopefully more effective) ways.
All cool astronomy, all the time. Nice.
I’m a 7th (and final!) year

For years, I used to drive Route 15 from Rochester to Harrisburg almost weekly. Yep, your description nailed it exactly.
Unfortunately, after the northern portion of 15 was rebuilt in the mid-1990′s, it bypassed all of those tiny little towns and churches that gave the road so much character.
