Google's Street View came up in a conversation with some co-workers today. Apparently, there's still a few people out there who didn't know that you can view (an ever-increasing selection of) addresses at the "street level" - and "walk" the guy (I can't remember his name) around the neighborhood. Fun stuff. You can even incorporate the street views into your driving (or new walking) directions, and literally see the way -- drive the route virtually, if you will.
Anyway, we decided to go a quick Google search (of course) to find out about street view, and -- since I was talking to some of our science and tech guys -- decided to learn about the camera and the process. Here's a few links to get you started.
