...this arial photo of his house the other day and it reminded me of the great leaps and bounds being made on Google Maps at the moment, they have some really high resolution satellite shots, this is Central Park in New York for example (you can zoom in much nearer though)...Check out "Google Sightseeing" or this place for some other amazing examples (including Area 51)! And there are other amusing things to do, like search for airliners in flight in the shots...!

The next country that Google Maps has spread to is the UK, so I guess we can expect satellite pics soon too! ;)
