Just wondering if you’ve ever done a web search of your own name, and if so what did you come up with?
Mine was pretty boring…
a bunch of geneology links.
Some people who breed boxers.
a woman who’s husband plays drums for some band.
I’m a foot-fetish porn star.
Well, not me.
Mine wasn’t hugely interesting either. Basically, if you run a Google search for my name, you find a lot of song parodies, the Five-Minute Shakespeare series, the contributors’ page for the Gilbert and Sullivan Archive, and some genealogies for people who are not me.
My virtual selves are far more interesting than the RL me. And that includes the rapid transit expert. 
Others race yachts and antique sports cars.
AAAAH! I just did it, and I came up with my very own webpage. I was very surprised, it has only existed since October I think.
Also, apparently a lot of people with my name are either librarians or school teachers or otherwise very ‘literary’–found one who wrote a book about Welsh myths. Yey 
Then may I say that your RL name approaches absolute zero for cool?
Wow! Apparently, I’ve done some interetsing stuff that I didn’t even know about.
-
I am a bassist in a band
-
I am a computer systems analyst
-
I am a visual artist
-
I am mayor of a city
-
I am a high school football coach
-
I escaped from an mental institution, shot and killed my family, then I committed suicide.
I must have been sleepwalking or something.
Interesting.
I’m either a gay activist in NY, a mathematician in California, or a weightlifting coach somewhere else.
Or a gay weightlifting mathematician.
Hmm.

All I get is references to the Enola Gay…the bomber that dropped
an A-bomb on Hiroshima…with the word Straight somewhere on
the page.
There is a tower at Cornell named after me!
Mostly, I get me.
I am a prolific web geek. Lots of web sites everywhere. (Geocities, Tripod, the works.) Plus some of my own domains. My sites are mostly Yosemite and art stuff. Then there are the sites of people who have linked to my Yosemite and art stuff, and have mentioned my name.
The freakiest link to my site was from lady who enjoyed my “tutorial” on drawing so much, she drew one of my drawings - this is not uncommon among artists - and showed it on her page, crediting my site. Her drawing was of an eye I’d drawn. She copied “my” eye! And did a pretty good job, too!
I also apparently held political office in London back in the '80s. But that’s about it.
I have an unusual name. My last name, especially, is relatively common in the UK, but rare in the US. Most references to my last name (if not directed to my sites) are from England.
Everyone with my exact first and last name seems to be in Brazil, even though I am neither Braziian and my name probably wouldn’t strike most people as very ‘Brazilian’ - it is a multiethnic country though.
I come up with my Dad’s website, which has my name on it as web designer. Plus there’s apparently some Australian pilot with my name. I dunno.
Apparently I’m an ambassador in South Africa.
Hmmm…
Apparently I’m taking a Portuguese computer science class.
Also, I died in 1996. :eek:
Somehow the question “Have you ever Googled yourself” sounds a little dirty.
Argh…that’s a terrible pun. 
(Thanks anyway.)
BTW, I did actually write those Five-Minute Shakespeares (the histories, anyway, not the other ones), the song parodies I turned up were mine, and I did sequence some midis for the G&S Archive. There apparently aren’t many non-me people with my name hanging around on the Net.
Mine was kind of scary… there was a picture of a naked person who had the same name as me, someone who is in some movies, and someone who I thought was actually me until I realised it wasn’t.
Ah, the ego trip… God bless it…
All 11 resulting hits were about me and my science-fiction activities.
Gosh, I might be the only “Bryan Ekers” on Earth!
A few years ago, I probably could have gotten $500 million invested in a web company based on that premise, somehow. Curse my poor timing!
I seem to be a soccer player in Pennsylvania.
