Signs Of The Times

Tonight, as I drove past the Wachovia Securities building in downtown San Jose, I did a double-take. The sign out front, which normally has the DOW and NASDAQ, also had the following message:

Chicken Little was right.

As much as my well-diversified portfolio has taken a hit, it is comforting that the same old basics still apply: stay out of debt and save for a rainy day.

Been Googlin'

I googled my name, and my siblings names, to see what I could see:
  • Joel Marr: Joel Marr is a rather famous horse trainer from New Mexico, and he dominates that namespace on Google.
  • Jon Marr: My brother's design studio shows up 4th on Google(!), beat out by a physicist and a misogynist.
  • Julie Marr: The first Google entries takes you to a scenic painter who worked on Enchanted.
  • Jason Marr: A software engineer in Cupertino and an actor in Portland dominate this namespace.
  • Jeff Marr: I actually show up second, because of my LinkedIn entry. A loan officer took the top spot, however.
Conclusion: Linkedin is a cheap way to improve your Google ranking.
