Just Admit It...
Admit it.
Go ahead. We�re among friends.
And besides, that�s the first step is admitting it. You know that.
You�ve Googled yourself.
You�ve Googled your screen names too.
Yes, you have�.don�t deny it.
I know I have. And the results were expected.
When I Googled my full screen name I got a plethora of postings at message boards, this site, and other things. It was almost a snapshot of Smed.
Smed, of course, also stands for �single minute exchange of dies� and I�ve had some hits on this site when people Google that, so just going for that leads to a lot of pages of stuff about lean manufacturing and things like that.
There was a posting on the Urban Dictionary that wasn�t quite complimentary but �Smedley�, which Smed derives from was the bomb, yo.
When I Google my real name, I see that I�m in a death struggle with someone from the University of Arkansas who is a computer security geek. Me, I�m just a well-rounded geek. And I also know that he uses his middle name, while my name is my first name as God intended it.
So what�s the point of this?
Am I that narcissistic today that I feel the need to Google myself and bask in the glory?
Am I that desperate for content that I�m reduced to this cheap ploy?
Or am I too busy making the world a better place?
I think I just got nothin� really. It�s one of those dry periods today. I had a fantastic day yesterday with a lot of movement going on, and I need to do some follow up this afternoon with a few places as well that hopefully will lead to something. I may be taking some airplane trips in the next couple of weeks to go talk to some folks. Hoo-ray!
Tomorrow, there�s gonna be somethin� fun for the entire weekend, I swear. You don�t wanna miss it.
