If you're an early riser this site will tell you when you can watch ISS fly over. http://iss.astroviewer.net/observation.php

There is also a neat Android app: Android ISS detector

Duct Tape spotted! Zarya module. look up! three hose fittings? covered in tape. I think i'd live in constant fear of bumping the wrong knob/pipe/lever while floating from one module to the next.

There's an iPad 2 serving as makeshift wall clock in Zarya.

Aren't there any windows?

I saw some windows 7. Hope their AV is up to date.
