Momentous Occasion

I googled my name today, and finally my blog came up as the third site listed. This is a momentous occasion.

Googling is going places. The expansion of blogs and the remarkable amount of personal information that people are willing to share about themselves and others is going to revolutionize privacy. Just today, I read some guys story about meeting some girl. So he writes out her full name, and in theory for the rest of time, anybody who googles her name will read about that night in the bar where she met this guy and what he thought about her.

I don't pretend to know where this is going. Yet I do know that soon enough, many people's biographies will be able to be researched rapidly through the internet. Identity theft will become easier. I personally don't mind if people borrow my identity for short periods of time. I only ask that they return it in as good or better condition as they took it. Is that too much to ask?

Really, someone borrowing my identity could be rather economical. I could probably get a lot more done without actually having to do it myself. So, I will now be accepting applications for an identity loan (no credit cards attached).
