Ever tried typing your name into Google to see how many hits you get? My name gets something like 4 pages of results and most of them are about me. It's scary how much info is out there on the internet, even my BF's name gets a few hits and he's a terminal paranoiac.

Google just rocks. Can't believe it is that old already. Where does the time go. Now, that I think about it, I cant remember when I found google for myself. Or how.

Ive googled my handle before. In the past it would bring up some Unreal Tournament related statistics about games I fought in.

Yep, and I have 6 months to wipe out that electronic trail. *sigh*

Luckily, my name is so common that Googling for my name is useless :D

My name is the same as a 45ish year old female christian singer. You can see me, err... her, in Wichita, KS the 13th, 14th, and 15th.

Hell, she even has my name registered as a website. I KNEW I should've registered it when I had the chance.... :-)

It's actually the Vietnamese equivalent of John Smith, or at least close to it, IIRC.

Ah, 5 years ago...remember when everyone used Yahoo! :P

Wow. 554 finds for Iannazzo. I think this finally puts to rest my theory that I must be the only greaseball on the Internet.

My handle, however, turned up 884 links. Including this bizzare fanfic site where I caught a glimpse of Darth Vader vs. Cinderalla...

Mwhahaha. Googling my name reveals 3 pages about someone who died over a century ago.
