So Look in a Mirror and I says to myself, "Self..."

After reading this post over on Lifehacker, I decided to Google myself. I hadn't done that in a while, so I figured it was a worthwhile exercise. Here's the link, and here's the results:

  1. I'm Funny (Roughly) Once a Day
  2. Tuftsdaily.com (college newspaper)
  3. My LinkedIn page
  4. Comment on Giant Robots (Eric's company's blog)
  5. Another comment on Giant Robots
  6. My Amazon Wish list
  7. Comment on John's blog: "Venture Brothers Season Two changed my life. Fuffletonia also changed my life."
  8. Website for my college senior project
  9. Email I sent while working at Tufts in the ResNet department
  10. Email I sent to the author of an industry newsletter I subscribe to.
At first, I was totally stoked: I dominate the first page of results. Then I thought: "Oh nuts, IFOD is number one, and my comments on Fuffletonia are up there too?" How is this going to look to a recruiter or potential boss (or even current boss)? Then I laughed, long and hard, because this list really summarizes my life. We've got stuff from college, both academic and work, we've got my personal life (IFOD, wish list), my professional life (LinkedIn), my love of testing (GR), and my inanity (not sure if this is a word... just pretend it is).

Good thing I don't have any porn on my wish list.
