(Less useful, but much cooler, is the TerraServer. I live in the rectangular ring-shaped building.

How to get there

I live right near a very confusing highway interchange, so the directions depend a lot on where you're coming from.

From Palo Alto:
Take University Ave east. At the last light before the on-ramps onto 101, turn left onto
-> Woodland Ave. This is a 5-way intersection; you want to go 90-deg left. Follow Woodland for 2-3 blocks, and turn right onto
-> Euclid. Go about 3 blocks down (toward 101), and left onto
-> O'Keefe. This is a very long block---I'm about halfway down, on the right (#315). After 6 pm, grab the first parking space you come to; you're unlikely to do better. Skip below to "Once you've found the building..."

From points north:
Take 101 South to
-> Willow Road, and exit the highway going west, toward Menlo Park. Go half a dozen blocks to the "76" gas station, and turn left onto
-> O'Keefe. Follow O'Keefe for 5 blocks. Where it crosses Menalto, the name changes to East O'Keefe, and it makes a small dogleg right. You are now on my (very long) block---I'm about halfway down, on the left (#315). After 6 pm, grab the first parking space you come to; you're unlikely to do better. Skip below to "Once you've found the building..."

Alternate route from San Francisco:
[Note: When highways are reasonably clear, this route will take at least 15 minutes longer than just coming down 101. If 101 is a parking lot, well, you can give this a try. No promises.]
Take 280 South to
-> Page Mill Expressway. Go east five miles, through many traffic lights. After you cross under Alma St, the name changes from "Page Mill" to "Oregon Expressway"; do not be alarmed. Eventually you reach
-> 101 North. Go one exit north, to University Ave. Continue with directions "From points south."

From points south:
Take 101 North to the
-> University Ave exit; get off the highway going west (towards Palo Alto, not EPA; do not let them confuse you). Take the overpass over the highway, and turn right at the first light onto
-> Woodland Ave. This is a 5-way intersection; you want to go as close to 90-deg right as possible. Follow Woodland for 2-3 blocks, and turn right onto
-> Euclid. Go about 3 blocks down (back toward 101), and left onto
-> O'Keefe. This is a very long block---I'm about halfway down, on the right (#315). After 6 pm, grab the first parking space you come to; you're unlikely to do better. Skip below to "Once you've found the building..."

From the East Bay:
Take 880 to the
-> Dumbarton Bridge. After crossing, turn left at the second light onto
-> Willow Road. After about a mile you will cross Hwy 101. Go half a dozen blocks farther on to the "76" gas station, and turn left onto
-> O'Keefe. Follow O'Keefe for 5 blocks. Where it crosses Menalto, the name changes to East O'Keefe, and it makes a small dogleg right. You are now on my (very long) block---I'm about halfway down, on the left (#315). After 6 pm, grab the first parking space you come to; you're unlikely to do better. Skip below to "Once you've found the building..."

Once you've found the building
The building is called the Ardmore Apts; my apartment is right above the sign (and the main gate), second floor on the right. I'm in apartment 38; to buzz me, hit #-3-8 on the keypad (there are no directions). The buzzer connects to my phone; if that's busy, try yelling or throwing rocks at my window or something.
