Big Brother is Watching
Google Street View got me.
Google sent cars with 3D cameras mounted on the roof to select cities to drive every street and take pictures of everything so they can be composited into their "Street View" service. They did a good job here, and if you take a walk out our street you'll see me!

That's (geeky) cool!
It sort of looks like your face was blurred out. I wonder if that's intentional. I would imagine Google has some super face recognition engine that blurs faces to avoid lawsuit.
