Where am I?
I used to have a "find dave" service that could automatically locate me anytime my cell phone was turned on. Unfortunately, that hasn't worked for a long time, because AT&T turned off their service (oh well, it was free anyway and fun while it lasted). I figured it would be nice for Laurel to be able to keep track of me when I ride my motorcycle, though, so I rigged up a more manual, but workable, solution.
So now I have the Dave Locator website ... this updates my location once a minute, but only when I remember to turn it on (therefore, the "latest" location may not be where I actually am, just the last time I had the setup turned on). The setup is basically a bluetooth GPS unit that my phone detects, and if it can find it, the phone uploads my location to a database, which is what you're seeing on top of Virtual Earth when you pull up my site.

You should make a GeoRSS feed out of it :-)
It also seems to work as an unreliable, low-resolution indicator of your speed across the ground. :)
Pretty Cool Locator. Dan R
