There looks to be all kinds of fun redirection to the site whatsgoingon.com

Seems to redirect to park.above.com, which seems otherwise dead.

I'm a dev, but can any network ninjas shed light on what's actually going on? 302's to park.above.com and then other bounces? Results seem to be different every time, but with duplicate results. Is it querying some network to get URL's?
