Egosurfing
I was bored, so I went to google and did a search on my own name. (It's Kendra Marsh, BTW-- in case you didn't see that frightening "Kendra Marsh! Paging Kendra Marsh!" topic a while ago...)
I found out some interesting things.
Like, Kendra Marsh is a blood cancer survivor.
Kendra Marsh is also the author of an "inspirational butterfly and moth story."
And Kendra Marsh is the daughter of all-star champ Kenny Jacobs.
And Kendra Marsh won 3rd place in the November 2001 "Lee's Tae Kwon-Do College" drawing.
And Kendra Marsh died on May 1st, 1986, and was born on the 23rd of November in 1923. (My mother's b-day is May 1st. My brother was born in 1986. And 23...well...see http://www.stalgran.com/23.htm. Damn creepy.)
And, oddly enough, "Kendra" was the main character in an odd story, in which she gets caught in a "marsh." It took me a while and a bit of navigating to discover that this odd and pointless story was hosted at a site dedicated to "the phenomena of quicksand and mud fetishes."
I found all of this enlightening and hilarious.
So here's my obvious challenge, if any of you would like to take it up:
What kind of crazy stuff do you get when you go egosurfing?
Something is currently <a href= "http://polygonreports.keenspace.com">HERE</a>.
Hmm...
Apparently, I'm:
- a violinmaker, gold medal winner
- Born: 7 JAN 1839
Married: 25 OCT 1862
Died: 10 DEC 1910
- an executive director
- a mental health centre staff member
etc. etc.
Weird stuff.

Nothing really...
Maybe my name isn't common enough. I did get a few laughs on what my sister wrote about my name on her site... now to kill her.

Let's see...
Adam Hodgson...
Well, there's my site of course...
OoOooo, I was an ontrepenure of 1824, forming a company called Rathbone Hodgson and Co. in Liverpool, groovey. And he had lots of comments on slave labour after exploring the world (well, a bit of it), not that I can be bothered to read them...
There's also one of me who's a member of the Essex Orientiering team... The looser...
And there's Herrn Adam Hodgson, an Engineer in Hamburg.
Another one's facing trail for doping, whatever that is...
And this. To say I'm freaked is a gross understatment
THEY HAVE FILES ON ME WITHOUT ME KNOWING! THE PH34R! THE PH34R! But they haven't got my latest game and company, Vis and Power Puff Girls: Relish Rampage... Hrmpf... Darn outdated creepy spy file things grrr... Still, kinda' kewl I've even got a file in the supposed Games Industry ^.^

my name is bich (pronounced bic) and i thought all i'd get was mispellings of bitch. i left out my last name cause i thought any serious 'bich' pages would be limited. apparently not. i'm a singer, a man (!), an island, several university units (BIoCHemistry 101, 103, 104 etc), a corrosion engineer doubled as someone who writes fables, a band, a fridgid band (fridgid bich... how amusing), a weirdly shaped electric guitar, a medicine... and strangely enough, no mispellings of bitch. well, i gave up looking through all the reults they gave me after page 4, but with what i went through there weren't any.
use a spoon! it hurts more!

I'm a member of a U.K. robot team called "The Luddites" and mess around with kit cars.
I was No. 1 in an under 14 boys soccer shoot out from New Mexico
I'm an alumni Eagle Scout in Fort Worth, Texas
I'm an engineer in Louisville, KY.
I'm a decendent of an Irishman named Matthew Wilson
And, I'm a Scottish DJ.
It sounds to me like all of my namesakes are pretty boring too.

Will and White are both common words in the english language, one of which is automatically ignored in search engine results, so I don't even get actual people when I search for my name. In fact, the White House's official site is the first thing to come up when looking for me, followed by the White pages, which I doubt I'll ever compete with.
However, I'm quite pleased to notice if you put my name in quotes, I'm the 4th site to come up, right after some Baseball player apparently named Will White, but I come in waaaay before the drummer for the band "Propellerheads", who also had the same name.
Oh, also, this:
Letter from Will White
July 31, 1912
Pauline Johnson
Vancouver Ont.
My Dear Good Friend Pauline
Sorry to here you are not enjoying the best of Health. But hope you will be around soon. Enclosing you a cheque for $10.00. I just wish I could drop in and shake that Good Natured Hand of yours.
Remain your old Friend
Will. J. White
P.S. I have not been working any all summer was laid up for two months with typhoid pneumonia. Wil.
Could the J stand for.... Jaster?

James Thorpe, quelle surprise.
Works at the Leeds General Infirmary. Specialises in general thoracic surgery. Does this make him a heart surgeon? Perhaps...
a security officer at the University of Winconsin. "For the past 25 years, he has also been a student and practitioner of Astrology and Numerology." Well that came out of left-field.
One 'James Thorpe' was a script writer for the Highlander TV series. Fuck that.
Hooooo! Entered the air-force in 1990.
There appears to be a highschool named after me in the Chicago region.
Goal-keeper in Massachusetts.
http://home.epix.net/~landis/thorpe.html And finally, fuck you all, because I am the Athlete of the Century. Not this century, sure enough, but a whole century nonetheless.

I am also a:
-new age recording artist
-general contractor with 5 (yikes!) kids
-an "educator" (sounds like a mafia euphemism)
-professional racecar driver
-the drummer in a band called "Army of Jasons"
-a really cool manager of "Your Backyard" store who gave a hot tub to a girl for the Make-a-Wish Foundation
-a character in an old Daredevil comic
-a character on Diagnosis Murder
-a sophomore at UNC who became an activist concerned with the pressing problem of parking
-webmaster for OSU website
-an official storyteller for some White Wolf LARP in San Diego
-Beef Jerky Officianado (no kidding!)
-some loser who taped himself wrapping his head in an entire roll of masking tape (it's called Wrap 0.1)
-the guy who wrote Doomarena

I seriously didn't expect to find anything with the name "Josh Christofferson" but apparently I'm a linebacker for Cambridge.

Actually when I do a search for my name a great many of the pages that turn up mentioning me actually are about me. Mostly about either my music career or my videogame work.
Although a hell of a lot of them are pages posting the lyrics for a poem/song I wrote in the style of Dr. Seuss answering the age old question of "Why did the chicken cross the road." That song is ancient too. I wrote it around 1990 or something. I still play it during my shows though.
