Google Makes My Day
Since my heyday at The Slant, my Google ranking has gone steadily down. Which is to say, when I Google "Ben Stark", I often don't find anything about me on the first page even.
Egotistical to Google myself, I know.
Still, I'm happy to say that this blog is now number 6 on the list when I Google my name.
Of course, as Mike points out, searching for anything on Google could get dangerous unless they stay true.
Now get back to commenting on action-as-art.

I used to have a "competition" of sorts with my dad about which of us was at the top of Google's search for "Mike Mott". For a while it was me, ironically with my Torch article about legalizing marijuana. But for obvious reasons, I have been pushed downward in the last two years. My blog barely cracks page 1.
Anyway, it's not egotistical at all. Everyone does it.

There are so many "Matt Novak" playing music and writing books and playing football that I didn't see myself anywhere on the first 7 pages. On page 8 there's a comment I gave to some reporter regarding the Gonzales v. Oregon case. I still haven't found my blog anywhere. And searching "Matthew B. Novak" doesn't count, because no one cool uses their middle initial like that.

I don't know... I can think of a few off the top of my head. George F. Will, William F. Buckley, Michael J. Fox, Craig T. Nelson, Capt. James T. Kirk, William O. Douglas...

Incidentally, I'm #2 for my name. But then, "Woodhead" isn't a particularly common last name.

Oooh, Captain James T. Kirk. That's the eopitme of cool.
And I suppose there's always Atilla D. Hun

Then there's me, who just assigns the middle initial "Q." to everyone, such as during baseball season when I was frequently heard rooting for Bradford Q. Lidge.
And not that Jeff would have made this reference, but we mustn't forget Homer J. Simpson.

Well,
It is a long story... sort of, but I decided to put my name into Yahoo seach to see what would come up. I scrolled down a little and there was #6 "I am engaged to Christy Resnick. " I thought well maybe someone else could be engaged to a Christy Resnick. I decided to click on it and it was your blog. I started scrolling down looking casually at the titles thinking, he really does write on this a lot and then I came across this post. It made me laugh. Anyway thought you would enjoy my little (long) story :)
Christy :)

oh, so maybe I did not explain the funny parts :) 1. I am famous now through your blog :0 2. that you would create a post on this subject that I would run across because of a search for my name.
Ps- I like when I type in my name it says "Christy (ben's intrest)" I like being your "intrest"

I found a Boo Resnick. I think I should change my name to Boo. Can you imagine the kids calling me "Ms. Boo"
