A local news crew just stopped by here in response to Google Sky.
(Google now says there's a sky, so it must exist, right?!)

Their aim was to interview some of the folks who had worked with SDSS
and Hubble (Google's source material).  In their wanderings we
ascertained that my workstation was one of the only ones which
actually has Google Earth/Sky.  As a result, they got footage of both
the VOEventNet mashup and the robotic telescopes around the world.
