Google is creepy

Wanna see something freaky?

Go to Google Maps and enter your address.
If a window pops up with a little picture that says Street View, click it.
If that option doesn’t appear, click on the Street View button at the top right edge of the map.
Find a street with a blue highlight around it, and go there.
Once you have the Street View window open, use your arrow keys or mouse to get around. I prefer the arrow keys.
It’s also better if you make the Street View full screen.

There are all sorts of websites out there that show the cool stuff users have spotted on Street View.

Here’s where I’m writing this blog from right now.  Click the image below and mess with your arrow keys.
