No -- there are hundreds of Mike Millers in these parts!  I'm at 2940 41st 
Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55406-1814.  To put the marker nearest to it, I 
changed the address:

My house is the one across the street to the left (West).

Here is where I used to live (9/1/2001 - 11/20/2004):

My old building is the big one casting a shadow toward the marker.  Note 
the border of the low res area (ugly).  I was near the stadium (lower 
right - big white pillow).  My workplace was nearby:

It's just to the East of the marker - a sort of X-shaped building. 
Here's another view of it:

My current home is 3 miles on the beautiful river road from my workplace.
