Default What happens when you Google your own name

Every now and then, just out of curiosity, I Google for my own name.

In the past, I have never been on the front page of hits but today something actually about me was the first hit.

Not sure if anyone else really cares but I thought it was pretty cool!

I suppose it helps if you've got an unusual name. Unfortunately there's a cinematographer that shares the same name as me, so his entries in IMDB, etc. will come up first, at least until phase 1 of my plan to take over the world begins. :twisted: Mwwwwaahhh Haaaaa haaaaa.

:idea: Note to self: Must check spelling of "Mwwwwaahhh Haaaaa haaaaa" proir to phase 1.

I share my name with one of the members of the original Micky Mouse club, so he gets all the glory. :wink:

You have to go all the way to page three of the results when Pocket PC Thoughts start showing up to find me.

Wow, it returned a page listing me (correctly) as sysop of Creative Images BBS. I ran an Atari ST centric BBS out of Germantown, MD back in the very early '90s. My BBS was an active Fidonet node back then, they must have dipped into the Fido archives for that info.
