Googling myself

I just did for the first time what I’m sure most occasionally bored folks have done many times before: googled themselves. Like the classics from Dave Letterman’s timeless “Top ten things that sound dirty but aren’t” list, Googling oneself sounds lecherous but really isn’t; it just means typing your own name into google.com and seeing what turns up. Here are a few of the long-forgotten items that turned up:

An entry on Philip K. Dick I wrote for a fansite for Grant Morrison’s comics series The Invisibles

A website of half-assed 3-D animation-related stuff I had to do for a Renderman shaders programming class in art school

…and A band that I had totally forgotten I played bass for when they recorded some demos at our recording studio many a-year ago

People site anonymity as a virtue of the internet; to them I say, “Horsefeathers!”
