I can see my house from up here!

Wow. This is amazingly cool: Google Maps has upgraded their mapping/directions service to include satellite photos. So you can enter an address in and see a photograph of the location. You can then zoom in, zoom out, or drag the map around to see surrounding areas. Astounding.

The little red marker in this picture, for example, is my house:


On the website, I can zoom in on that location all the way until I can see my front yard. In the near future, I hope to be able to zoom in so that I can look through my window to see myself, sitting at the computer looking at myself on Google Maps. Oh George Orwell... You sure had our number!
