My IP Address Lookup and IP Locater

There have been other IP lookup services that perform this function, but as the users at Digg noted, this one seems to get closer than most to the actual location of the IP address.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.

I did something like this ages ago, using US Census Tiger maps. It's old and lame compaired to the tool mentioned here but it still works.
