Google Yourself

First hit for Cartoonin99 is for a pic I posted of Drizzt Do'Urden in one of the old threads on GWJ.

It takes all the way to the 3rd page until we get to something not GWJ related, but it's still me posting on Conceptart.org

The first webpage hit is my "tagging" page here on GWJ, started by the infamous Lobo

http://www.gamerswithjobs.com/node/1...

By the way, I did a search on Certis.

Certis also gets rid of pests. How...appropriate.

Oh gods, image searching Liquidmantis is a bit horrific.

This is the third hit:
IMAGE(http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a254/Liquidmantis/mbp.jpg)

A general Liquidmantis search used to be uniquely me, but now there is at least one imposter, LiquidmAntis. Not sure if he's the Liquid Mantis on PSN or not.

Well, this is disappointing. Search of my username as-is is just three pages of images on gwj with a couple steam related images. Search of "i aint got no pants" isn't much better. Apparently, people like to ride the subway without any pants on.

Thats from a group called "Improv Everywhere" ... essentially they get a bunch of random people to show up to do weird things in public, and the "No Pants Ride" has become a yearly tradition. Its getting to the point now where its too well known of a tradition I think, though.

So most hits were in regards to the pre-civil war guerilla tactics that were used against Missouri. apparently there is a Jayhawker flower that was the second image I found. The pic of of the word minus the J was from a set of old photos representing the personalization of planes during WW II. Apparently they had to patch over the Jay due to damage?

The last image was a representation of Jayhawkers sacking the town of Osceola, Missouri. Here is the bit about the raid.

During the Civil War, Jayhawker bands invaded Missouri, often committing some of the most notorious atrocities of the conflict including the Sacking of Osceola on September 23, 1861, led by James H. Lane, in which the entire town was set aflame and at least nine male residents were killed.

Two years later, when William Quantrill attacked Lawrence, Kansas in August, 1863 in what has become known as the Lawrence Massacre, Confederate guerillas could be heard shouting, "Remember Osceola!" Though Lane was in residence in Lawrence at the time, he was able to escape the attack by racing through a cornfield in his nightshirt.

After Lane's attack on Osceola, these Jayhawker bands began to receive much criticism from the Union leaders and they were “reigned in.” As the Civil War continued and the Jayhawk raids diminished, the ruffian image gave way to patriotic symbol and Kansas Governor Charles Robinson raised a regiment called the Independent Mounted Kansas Jayhawks. By the end of the war, Jayhawks were synonymous with the impassioned people who made Kansas a Free-State.

I grew up in Missouri, but went to KU and lived in Lawrence for several years. I live in St. Louis now. I can tell you that there is still some pretty serious resentment between the two states.

Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Brokeback Mountain, did an interesting movie that depicts the conflict from the point of view of the Bushwackers (the Missouri equivalent), Ride With the Devil. I saw it as part of a film class in which we watched films about outlaws represented as heros in film. I was surprised in just how angry I started to feel as they began the massacre of Lawrence. It's actually a better film than the trailers would have you believe.

I am very impressed that mine is not wikipedia, but this instead

http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/C...

and in images, Chairman appears to be taken quite literally
IMAGE(http://stuffedart.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/chairman-mao-chair.jpg)

First few hits for my name on images were a little odd... Photos from a photographer named Benjamin Reed:

...but image 5 is me, from my aKademy profile:

IMAGE(http://akademy2007.kde.org/conference/photos/benjamin_reed.jpg)

"Ranger Rick" (or "RangerRick") give the obvious hits:

IMAGE(http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:fLcXIFAM2FjiwM:https://images.ebsco.com/jc/images/0000750990004.14.jpg)IMAGE(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FQioMxWhi24/Rs6X-DbjgBI/AAAAAAAAArE/2W4KKYRbmok/s320/ranger.jpg)IMAGE(http://www.aracnet.com/~ablooms/ranger_rick.jpg)IMAGE(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hVk4qwCg9Sg/SSxdceSMV8I/AAAAAAAAEls/2PycVHRmONQ/s400/ranger+rick.jpg)

"Benjamin Reed" in a non-image search gets my blog on the 3rd hit:

Celebrity Portrait Photographer | Advertising Photographer | Los ...
Benjamin Reed | Yahoo! Research ("wicked mad scientist"!)
Tales of the Raccoon Fink

...and "Ben Reed" gets my IMDB profile on the 2nd hit... =)

When I look for Tom Young, it becomes a collection average white males from across the internet.

But I think I'll pretend to be this one:

Meatman your not allowed to play this game anymore.

For myself I appear to be some famous drummer guy that teaches and has some competition.

Unsurprisingly

I'm googling myself!

IMAGE(http://www.guitar.com.au/effects/digitech/newImages/DF7.jpg)

for web search my youtube channel comes up first then the Poker Face recording from my get together, then my flickr page, me vs thin J in SC2, my reddit page, my twitter, my thief 3 savegames....etc. Google has me down.
For images:
some image attached to my youtube page:

IMAGE(http://images.suite101.com/1319462_com_toyotacamr.jpg)

Then my same picture of my car on supercars.org just larger.

Here's the original I uploaded to flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrwynd/2622235879/ back in 2008.

Love MeatMan's results!

For my real name, there's already someone with this name that's way more famous than me so all the images are of him.

They sort of gave you credit, by using your name and referring to Flickr in the title for the image.

Pretty much all my results are medical in nature, and not very appealing. Imagine lots of asymetrical moles. Hence the tag.

This one was cute, though - 12th down.

This is the first image I get and it was not what I was expecting.

First off, Google wanted to know if I really wanted to search for Anime. Sadly, no.

So for general search, I am the following:

A Javascript Engine
A Korean Pop music stream

And after that, it's me on Twitter and User Friendly.

For images, we have pictures of Jessica Chobot, Anime Style:

And more Jessica Chobot:

But with all that said, here's the highlight of the first page from image search:

IMAGE(http://www.terminally-incoherent.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/futurama_as_anime.jpg)

First hit on my given first and last name:
IMAGE(http://www.insidemnsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/brian_pederson.jpeg)

First hit on my full given name (linked due to slight NSFW-ness)
http://prrtyfood.com/v3/wp-content/u...

First hit on my last name:
IMAGE(http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/44210000/jpg/_44210565_pederson300.jpg)

Second hit on my last name:
IMAGE(http://www.surgical123.com/images/products/detail/IMG_0510_PEDERSON_VAGINAL_SPECULUMS.jpg)

And first hit on my handle (most of those images are mine):

IMAGE(http://usera.imagecave.com/randomimg/hand6.jpg)

Searching my handle links back to me here and during my brief period at the news room over at the Escapist, pretty much exclusively. I know there are other Predericks out there, but apparently i'm the most prolific by far.

The only image I manged was this:
IMAGE(http://www.australiancemeteries.com/sa/mallala/shan_hsimages/prederick_george_rose.jpg)

I'm going to wager the name's actually "Frederick" but they screwed it up. On the upside, searching Frederick gets me...
IMAGE(http://www-tc.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part4/images/4fred16b.jpg)

...which is EXACTLY how i'd like to look in 20 years.

As I mentioned in the Weird Twitter thread I googled my real name and the first hit was my obituary. Apparently I was a doctor in Toronto. It was a bit of a Sixth Sense moment.

Image search gets me a bunch of dorky looking dudes.

Googling my handle gets me on a bunch of forums, Twitter and various sites I've registered.

Image search gets some pics I've posted.

IMAGE(http://www.foszor.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/borat-thumbs-up.jpg)

And a tattoo design I did linked from my photobucket from a tattoo gallery.

IMAGE(http://th286.photobucket.com/albums/ll120/MrDeVil_909/th_tat-spider-4.gif)

And a really random pic I made for the forum

IMAGE(http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll120/MrDeVil_909/Oogaba2.jpg)

Dropping the 909 from my handle gets me

GayPornDevil on Twitter, a musician and a song.

Image search gives some devil pictures.

Hehehe, that's a South African political party. Independent Democrats and the party president Patricia De Lille.

For some context, we have a history of corrupt politicians, and she blew the whistle on a majorly corrupt arms deal.
