Here's a bookmarklet which will geolocate you using the API, and 
redirect you to a map of your location with a marker:

javascript:navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(a){c=a.coords;window.location="http://www.osm.org/?zoom=15&mlat="+c.latitude+"&mlon="+c.longitude;},function(){alert("Rejected!")});

(Thanks to Johnathan Nightingale for the inspiration and code:

But we should really be doing object detection and adding a "Find Me" 
button for appropriate browsers to the main OSM web page.
