Google Me, Google You

My favorite Google logo

Shannon Whitney Messenger recently had a post on her wonderful blog about Googling herself.  She found all sorts of interesting things, including a clothing accessory with her same name. Well, she inspired me. Here's what I found when I searched for myself:

  • A Dog trainer in Springfield, Arizona
  • A manager at a day-spa in Pasadena, CA
  • Co-owner of a hair salon in Ottsville, PA
  • A lawn care specialist in St. Augustine, FL
All interesting, but fairly normal. But then I came across this:

  • Former nursery school teacher, injured in July, 1996, while protecting her students at a West Midlands, England, grade school from a paranoid schizophrenic wielding a machete. Her arm was almost severed in the attack, and she was awarded the George Medal, the second highest decoration a civilian can receive, by Queen Elizabeth II.
I mean, WOW. I feel slightly inadequate now.

Have you ever Googled yourself?  What interesting things did you come up with?
