Combining footage and effects created by Chris Milk alongsideGoogle Earth footage activated by typing in your own childhood address, the result is a powerfully moving trip into your past, complete with a virtual postcard to your past self. Assuming you use Google Chrome, and that your neighborhood is well documented on Google Maps, the end result will be phenomenal. Here is the link again.
