Google your name

Yeah, not original, but mildly entertaining, especially if you're half as narcissistic as I am. :D

Google you name and list what other people with your name are doing with it. You don't have to tell us what your name is, of course. And if you do, I can't promise that we won't estalk you.

Other people who have my name are:
1. A Director for Research Development at the Schroeder Institute. Whatever that is. This one also has a PhD and "also holds an appointment as Associate Professor (Adjunct) in the Department of Oncology at Georgetown University Medical Center and is a member of the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center." Holy shit, she's smart. She also advocates evidence based medicine. \o/

2. A volleyball player (and 6' 2")

3. Children's book author.

I'm a Danish goalie.
A Canadian graphic designer.  (Which I actually am, too.)
A Danish airline pilot.
An Danish astronomer.
A Danish actor.

I'm also apparently Persona Non Grata at a dive bar in Philly.  (That might actually be me, I don't ever remember drinking in Philly, but that doesn't mean I didn't.)

Seriously, it just took me about 12 seconds to find out everything about you.

I thought about sending you a Facebook request, even.  You know.  But then Panda said no e-stalking.

I have a google notification set up so that any time a google-monitored site posts any name that is the same as any of the variations of my name, I get an email.
I get an average to two a day.
