I do that vanity thing where I google diskgrinder just to see if I'm intertube neutral (you know, not contributing more emmisions than I should, or something).
There must be a better phrase:
- Web footprint (wank)
- Web arse print (funny, not likely to catch on)
- Internet arse print (still funny)
- <profile/> (geek wank)
- User 2.0 (really wank)
- The-list-of-results-I-get-when-I-google-my-name-otron (the winner!)
With the unusual spelling the results list is interleaved with the following two:
- A drunken comment I have made on a forum late one night
- Misspelt ramblings from DIY enthusiasts
My favourite result is "Beware if you see someone fit a post with a gross tool like a diskgrinder." from this guy, a musical instrument craftsman, a luthier.
I'd never actually followed the link, imagining that it was something to do with sharpening fence posts with a diskgrinder, which sort of makes sense. But no, she's talking about sound posts (podcasts?).
Anyway, now I know I'm a gross tool.
But wouldn't it be cool to be a luthier? I have some friends in Tennessee who used to work for the Martin Co. . .

It'd be very cool to be Lex Luthier, so I could rule the world with my stringed instrument manufacturing prowess. (arf!)
