Innieway and myself are anything but your typical couple. This evening's entertainment here on the farm was investigating exactly how much information others can readily obtain about you with nothing more than a google search. Innieway (after a Guinness or four) decided to google himself. We were surprised to find that the search result lead right to our sleepy little town, and even revealed his mothers resting place and marriage date. The google search even includes satellite imagery and maps to your location. Thankfully the "wonderful world wide web" is not quite as accurate as it could be. The residence shown for Innieway on both satellite imagery and the map put us near the local jail-house. So I guess that they were close, but missed the mark by a good ways, unless of course the Web can see into the future....? I am proud to say that upon googling myself, i turned up nothing but a big fat goose-egg in the first two pages of results. So go ahead, google yourself, and let us know what you find out!!

Why can't I find out anything about the people I really want to find!?

Yes, I am still around! That is a nice safe guard. The result I came up with as having my exact name is an MD, maybe anyone hunting information will find here more exciting, lol!

What's the world come to when people just tell total strangers to go Google themselves. Man... what a world we live in.... Innieway and I thought that some may find this activity as entertaining and informative. Also, the people that I pinged into this are not what I would call "total strangers".
Google myself? Oh yeah, well go GOOGLE YOURSELF there Buddy! Sheesh...

Have you ever tried the wayback machine? http://www.archive.org/web/web.php I can find some things they archived on me with all the material they have stored that is no longer otherwise online. Play with it a while, it is a fun site.

An exeample, I looked up http://Tre-sit.org, which is no longer on the web. Might be longer then average timewise to load so be patient. Eugene Earth First! activists to transplant tree friday 3-14-2003 by Tree-Sit.Org News Staff on Thursday, March 13 @ 22:20:20 PST Tree to be moved 3-14-03 friday 9am. The tree weighs approx. 7000lbs. and will be moved with the assistance of a large crane. It will be loaded on a truck and transported from it's present home at 3rd and Blair to it's new home at 19th and Arthur st. where it will be placed into a massive hole which has already been dug in anticipation of the move. News crews will be on hand to report on the cultimation of this exciting story. This project has been undertaken by a group of citizens led by well known tree activist Mike McCarthy to inspire Eugene citizens to realize the value of our city's street trees and urban forest. McCarthy is one of the most prominent defenders of urban trees in the US, and will be on available for interviews and comments at the tree moving event friday. This tree moving project was made possible by generous donations from Get Fried Rice, Oldham Crane Co., Rainbow Valley Construction and the Community Media Center, all of Eugene. Thanks to these businesses for supporting our efforts! http://web.archive.org/web/20030724011642/http://tree-sit.com/

My apologies, I was trying to be humorous. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't.

Upon rereading, I do see the humor, my apologies as well.

There were only 5 hits for me.. mostly work related as well as one from when I was showing dogs.

In doing so I'm suddenly all confused. I can't seem to figure out whether I am an architect or an attorney. There were no references to paranoid recluses.

That's ok, I might be the vice prez of a charity related to the United Way, a SUNY mathematics professor, or a prominent member of the architectural community. Maybe I should play architect just to tweak BAC?

heheh - I had no idea that there are that many me's out there. I'm doing a lot, in all kinds of fields, according to goog.

I've posted this before, but I think it's amusing enough to repost. This is one of the things Google had to say about me: "YertleTurtle, also known by his given name of Bob Wallace, is a rather dim-witted writer, formerly employed by http://LewRockwell.com as a comic. Being an un-educated and rather boring hack, Yertle was forced to supplement his earnings as a columnist by working as a carpenter. One day in 2003, as he was working on the framing of a new house, his ladder collapsed under him, and he fell to the ground, heavily. As he fell, a co-worker on the roof above him dropped his hammer. The hammer landed on the prostrate Yertle's head, stunning him. As he arose from his stupor, a single, sudden thought entered his mind, a single thought that would change his life: "Death to all Semites!" Yertle did not hate the Jews. Yertle did not hate the Arabs. Rather, he found himself despising all of Abraham's towel-headed, talmud-clutching descendents. Yertle's anti-semitism got him kicked out of the libertarian movement, his girlfriend's house and http://Freerepublic.com "His days of being a second-rate humorist on http://LewRockwell.com were over. "Yet Yertle did not despair. He moved on to his new home at http://Freedum4um.com Nowadays he spends his time listening to classic rock, posting his own articles on the 4um and playing with himself." There is another one about how I'm the on-again, off-again life partner of one "Savrola," who went by several names here, and who seems to have a homosexual crush on me.
