Found it!

I just found my Elise on Google street view, and as excited as I was to share it here, I am also a privacy advocate. So I'm excited and creeped out at the same time, but here is the pic. My only regret is not being out there at the time to give 'em the bird.

I was at a conference last summer where the company that builds the cameras used for Street View was represented. I talked with one of the guys who has gone out to gather images. Some are captured with a car mounted system. He was showing me the backpack version.

Just do a search on "ladybug2 camera street view" in Google and you can learn more. One of the sites has the following quote:

"This camera grabs its video with five CCDs facing in all directions as well is one pointing straight up, letting it snag 75% of the full sphere. Then it sends its video via 1394 to a compressor unit that's able to stream those images at 30 frames per second."

Seems like such a camera would put ChaseCam to shame

You're creeped out because someone can drive past your house?

Oh Mick with a Krypton Green, no, I'm creeped out because I could have been bending over showing mechanic crack.
