2. I don’t think I’ve really changed my behavior too much. I don’t have anything particular incriminating or reckless in my online identity that I know of. If an employer is really not going to hire me because I have a few pictures on Facebook with a solo cup in my hand, then I don’t want to work there anyway.

3. a. The first entry for “Jarred Taylor” on Google is a link to an IMDB page of Jarred Taylor, who apparently made two appearances (once as “Bellboy” and once as “Trevor”) on that hit Australian TV show Fergus McPhail, which according to the site was a comedy about “teenager Fergus McPhail (and his irrationally optimistic alter-ego), stumbling from crisis to crisis – mostly of his own making. The stories chart a year in his life, showcasing Fergus at home with his erratic family, at school among friends, at play and sometimes even having a win in the steeplechase of adolescence.” Brilliant.

There is also a Jared (one “r”) Taylor, an American journalist who, according to Wikipedia, has “questioned the capacity of blacks to live successfully in a civilized society.” Stellar. Here’s a video of him defending racial profiling on the Queen Latifa show: http://youtube.com/watch?v=zY3Z0XYuSog. What a jack___.

b. Since the website Taylor mentioned (me in the skull [not gorilla] mask with my sweet 8th grade Metallica cover band) has since disappeared from the Internet, it takes a while for anything particularly embarrassing to come up. I’ve had three letters to the editor published in the New York Times… but I’m pretty embarrassed now about two of them. Luckily they don’t show up as prominently in search results anymore, but still…

c. This may be a wee bit morbid, but I’m proud to come up in search results associated with my grandfather. Even though I’m only mentioned as one of his surviving grandsons in his obituaries, it still makes me proud to associated with such a great man.

1. College roommate is what I thought of right away too. I definitely googled my roommate (Mimi H) and I found something about her being a runner. When I told her this later, I found out that she did run, but that she didn’t think it was on the internet. When we re-googled all I could find was something about a race with a horse that had her name. So…correct conclusion based on a horse.

2. In the back of my head, I try not to have anything incriminating on facebook, but since everyone at my work refers to it as “that facebook thing” I’m not too strigent.

3. Unfortunately one of the lame things about being the only person with your name is that every search pulled up is really you. It doesn’t come up anymore, but just even just a year ago, you could find a picture of me dressed up as a soldier for a play I was in in the eighth grade. I can’t say I’m really proud of anything…it’s all pretty awkward stuff.
