Leaping Tall Buildings in a Single Bound

My latest Internet addiction?

Google Earth! Specifically the Street View.

It's so freakin' awesome! Type in an address and 'Whooooosh!', around the world you go, flying like Superman. Arrive at your destination, double-click on the map and zoom down until you've landed in the middle of the street, with a 360 degree view of whatever you've gone to look at, whether it be the Eiffel Tower, Hollywood Boulevard, or even your old childhood home. (Of course, being the big geek I am, I actually make the flying 'whoosh!' noises as the camera spins through the sky. Simone can attest to this).

Of course, it's as creepy as it is cool. The whole thing feels a bit Enemy of the State.



When you look at my street, you can see my car in front of my house! In full detail! Spooky!
