Googling yourself
« on: June 12, 2008, 07:01:37 AM »
And I come across this....

Beats having a cat named after you  grin
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

When I google myself I come up with a guy in California, some professor, who's a guru on programming languages.

When I Google my username, I come up with the city in Snohomish county in which I live.  The astute among us will figure out how I picked my screen name.

When I Google my real name, a famous record producer has the most listings by far, followed by a mathematician.  I am neither of those people.

When I google my sn here and on THR, the first link is about some german woman.

When I google my sn on other sites, my profile on MDshooters is the 3rd link down, but there are a ton of other listings that aren't me.

(I'm not very original with screen names)

When I google my real name, a paper I co-authored in undergrad is about halfway down the page.  The other links are a guy working on his masters in Oregon, and a guy who makes electronic music.

I won't lie to you, I google myself.  Sometimes I google myself twice a day.

Anyone who says he doesn't is lying.

Last time I googled myself, it turned out to be an mj reference.  I changed it.

Ya'll do realize that googling yourself will give you hairy palms and cause you to go blind, right?

And, it makes Baby Jeebus mad at you.

Just for the record, I have nothing to do with TallPine Technologies.  laugh

Real name brings up:

1) a recording artist with a nude female picture on his website  shocked (not me)

2) a member of the US House of Representatives (not me either, though I suppose we could be distantly related)
