by the way... did anyone notice

It's moderately nifty. You'll like it. On the user page click 'map users'

 If you want to add yourself in, go to your user profile, click 'edit' then at the bottom of the page, find 'locations' you can add as many as you want actually. Add in home, work, and vacation spots ..label them, be cute it's ok. I don't think everyone wants to put their street address, but city, state and country would be cool!
