Here's something fun for you to waste time exploring.

SpaceRef.com noticed, from this photo, that European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Thomas Reiter has an iPod and Belkin external battery pack on board with him at the International Space Station.

Upon closer look, CNET noticed a few more brands in use. (A hi-res version of the image is available on NASA's Web site.)

We've shown you a close-up of the iPod. See if you can also find the Nikon digital SLR cameras, an IBM Lenovo ThinkPad, a Bogen Superclamp holding the armature with the Fujinon camera, a Sony video monitor, several film canisters and a Kenwood controller.

What else do you see? Let us know and, if we agree, we'll add it to this blog.
