I just did a google image on “Sean M. Hall” on all that turned up on the first 5 images was historic maps of San Francisco. What the hell? Can anyone explain this? Try googling an image search of yourself.

I keep getting mail for a guy who went Vanderbilt. They're always these legitimate vacation/reunion things that almost tempt me to sign up.

I've googled him, and it's weird that I'm sort of stalking him, but it's not my fault that he has my name.

― Pleasant Plains, Friday, 21 September 2007 15:33 (eighteen years ago)

most of the results are for some guy who's really into long distance horse racing. most of the results that are actually me are for a video i took of my friend andy playing drums for neil hagerty that he posted somewhere and it got cloned to every video site on the internet. then there's my website, a dubster.com parking spots thing and some work stuff.
