Ever tried Googling your name?

How do you fare?

When I Google myself I get --

Me.

Mainly because I speak at a lot of conferences and so I end up on the agenda,which inevitably goes on -line.

My name also throws up New Zealands leading lesbian singing duo. Which is nice.

So how do you Google?

My name = me, quite a few hits.

My surname = me, my family and relatives/ancestors. No one not related in some way.

Whooa, I've just discovered that I seem to be working for a University in Washington.

Supposedly some time in the past I was a boxer. A not very good one at that.

That's the saddest thing I've ever read

Real name's too common to get meaningful results I seem to spend my time lecturing at universities (Chem Eng and computer modelling) and signing declarations !

'Handle' turns up a worrying result if you 'feel lucky':

Not work appropriate

Not only that, but I'm also a low-ranking Canadian ice hockey player AND I'm a budgerigar fancier who recommends chickweed.

And my name is fairly uncommon.

I was lead guitarist in an '80's AOR band! (But top of the list was someone looking for my e-mail address in 1996).

Apparently my greatest acheivement was that in January 2002 I recieved the rank of Eagle Scout after being a member of Boy Scouts of America since kindergarten, and I continued on to earn my Gold Palm.


Don't remember that !
