How Walkable is Your House?

Here's another one of those delightful mashup/cool websites made possible by open APIs: Walk Score: how walkable is your house?

You enter your address, the website figures out how far it is to the nearest conveniences and necessities of modern life (grocery stores, schools, parks, restaurants, etc). The closer everything is, the easier it is to walk to everything; the further everything is, the more likely you'll be stuck inside a wasteful and polluting vehicle.
