so, a funny thing happened to me at work today

July 23, 2008 23:17 by george

there was a funny email that went out about how if you did a search for our company's name in google, you would find a posting from this blog, right on the first page - within the top three results! but, really, that's no big deal, i mean, i work for my company and i'm proud of them and they're proud of me, and everything that i say about them is positive...


...unless you are google and you take one of the comments about themcompletely out of context and then remove all of the surrounding parts of the statement that speaks positively about them, leaving you with an incredibly bizarre and not entirely correct impression. it's like how tabloids turn sound bites into outrageous sensational stories that totally misrepresent the subject. except... this was accidental and... about me... and more importantly... about my job!!!


i was utterly mortified. i've always felt pretty comfortable blogging because it's about me and my opinions and what i'm comfortable sharing, right? except that now that everything is connected by the inter-googlienss of the internet, no association is left unexplored and unrevealed.



and so, that is why i have taken down this old blog site for editing, and started a new blog site for all of my more personal and intimate and now strictly anonymous musings. and on the upside of things, now each site will deliver more of what you would want - one will have more .NET/ timelapse cat/ political goodness, and the other will have more comic book/ illustration/ personal gossippy madness!!!



everyone wins!!! enjoy!!!
