When I put in one of my most commonly used account names (mgrinich) a photo of David Hasselhoff comes up.

This is awesome.

I think it does that for every name he can't guess the picture of.

Yep, though you can change the image used like this: http://overtar.appspot.com/pete_not@mailana.com/default/http...

You can also force a 404 response instead by passing the special value '404' as the default image: http://overtar.appspot.com/pete_not@mailana.com/default/404

Brilliant. I hope this ends up being used everywhere.
