Googling oneself

So Maria recently posted an entry in her blog about the dorkiness of googling herself, which made me curious, and I decided to try googling myself, since I haven’t really done that in a long time.

The first interesting, and mildly surprising, result of this, is that I have a larger digital footprint than I would have thought. Even without quotation marks the top five google hits are all about me and the top two are in fact this blog I guess everyone’s reading my ramblings or something. This, however, is only for Dan Hertz. If I look up Daniel Hertz I get pretty much nothing at all, which I guess isn’t really surprising. I don’t refer to myself as that anywhere on my website or on this blog, so why would I expect to find myself by looking under that? There is another Daniel Hertz out there, though. Maybe he’s the guy who owns danhertz.com and doesn’t use it?

Anyway, I feel sort of like I’m famous, which I’m obviously not. But anything to cheer myself up on a dreary, dismal rainy day, I suppose.

Back to writing talks. They’re more or less done, but not quite. I’m going to be very happy in a week’s time when I’m done with them all. The one on Friday is really the key one, of course, but the one tomorrow and Tuesday are also the cause for some amount of worry and frustration.
