Google Flight Sim: Hey, I can see your house from up here!

This is just silly and cool.  Clever flash programmer Mark Caswell-Daniels has taken the Google Maps API and added a very simple flight simulator to it he calls Goggles.  You can scroll through the listing of major cities to flyover, which is fun if you happen to live there.  Or you can do a slight URL hack and have it start wherever you want. 

Click on the image to start flying from my apartment on Ann Street in Manhattan.  The cursor keys move you around, the space bar fires (useless) bullets. 

But please don't shoot at my building, it disturbs the cats.
