LOL I got an ego boost

Lots of white people show up if you google my name.

Google my name and you mostly get one black guy. 

I get... me.  And a movie I was in.

Was Katmai the director?

I'm always worried I'll be that poor other "Sarah Conner" that gets killed by the Cyberdyne Systems Model 101

I'm always worried when I get a courier delivery through Skynet.

I don't have shit other than a basic Facebook page that I never visit.  Google my name and you get some old British dude's wikipedia page (some guy who was into studying old Greek coins), a black Democratic politician, and my dad for the top results.

E:  Er, I guess I should use what I go by.  Some old timey actor, a photographer, and a wikipedia page with a bunch of entries for the same name (soccer player, poet, journalist, etc).  I'm not on the radar anywhere.  Seems to be a good thing.

And your plastic truck gets run over, too.

I don't come up at all in a Google search of my proper name, or the name I go by.

The best part is there is a mugshot of someone with my proper name, but it isn't mine.

EDIT:  A Google Image search of my name brings a lot of images of something called Girls and Corpses. 

[Josquius]

What disturbs me with googling my name is there is some guy with all the typical stupid kid photos- him drunk, half naked, etc.... and he went to the same university I did.
Hope I'm not being marked down as being that cunt

As I remember posting elsewhere I've been told the old advice about being ungooglable is not a good thing at all.

Back in my high school days, I created a website devoted to illicit glorious days, and years later I occasionally get messages from girls to scrub their names from the pages. I comply, but it amuses me that my ownership/engineering of the illicit activities has not prevented me from having high access in U.S. Government and NATO. Are these girls overreacting?

The difference is that you were probably properly vetted before getting access. A "proper" appraisal of a person would not freakout over minor high-jinks back in school days. However, if one is applying for a pissy little job in retail then online revelations about lively school days might well queer your pitch, "oh, my! The person applying for this pathetic little job isn't perfect!!!".

Yeah. I wonder if/when we will eventually get to the critical mass/breaking point, where EVERYONE will have a leaked sex tape/drunk/naked photos on the internet and people would stop caring.

To me, a person who seems like they do not have any embarrassing or quirky things about him must be hiding something really really freaky/disturbing - because only if you are a pedophile or a serial killer, you would have gone to such a great lengths to hide your true self.

Well you're an idiot.

Or become laywers at big firms.

Most lawyers at big firms are not the larger than life litigator types.  They are mainly the bookish solicitor types who enjoy drafting a good clause or two.

You don't make big money without tooting your own horn.

Perhaps that is true of horn manufacturers.
