have you ever googled yourself?

I once asked a friend if he had ever googled himself. He laughed and said that sometimes when he's alone he would google himself. Seriously, though, it is interesting to run a search on yourself.

A search on my name reveals some interesting results:

• Christian Preparation for the Second Coming
• a football player's bio (including "Arguably the most improved offensive lineman for the 2007 Spring"!) Yeah, that's right.
• bio of a cardiology physician
• a picture from my namesake
• a real estate company bearing my name

The list goes on and on. Mixed in with the results are entries that are mine, but since I have a name that isn't all that unique, finding me on Google is kind of hard. If you have an unusual name then you're pretty much set that searchers will be able to find you. I even found an old phone number from 5 years ago for me. Now that's some outdated information, Google! You'd better get cracking.
