Here's my existence history:
1997: pos...Hi Jasmine,<br />Here's my existence history:<br />1997: posted a story about the art of tea making. This was the only link that popped up when you googled me. It was a weird notion, because everyone techie that I new came up with the story on making tea.<br />2002: I created <A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/r?http%3A%2F%2Fwww.carboncredits.info">CarbonCredits</A>. This became a higher ranking<br />2003: I entered the Rubiks Cube World Championships. There, I existed in combination with you. That was because you took pictures and posted them with my name as a caption. Your site was more popular then my previous publication. <br />2004: Now we're back at rubiks.dk/timer/profile.asp?id=580 because Jess put a link to my <A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/r?http%3A%2F%2Frubiktimer.tk">timer</A>!Michiel van der Blonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12823410423396458424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034848.post-1095755942542188472004-09-21T04:39:00.000-04:002004-09-21T04:39:00.000-04:00Ahh, but Jasmine you're forgetting one of the beau...Ahh, but Jasmine you're forgetting one of the beauties of the internet, which is that here you can have a different identity to the one you have in real life.<br /><br />For privacy reasons I tend to be pretty careful about where my personal details are published (although I do exist). But anyone who knows me will know that I'm almost always online.<br /><br />How do you know you friend Tristan doesn't have a different online name?<br /><br />As to the first question - of course it does. And I thought you were a science geek <G>...<br /><br />bobhchickenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034848.post-1095524964109701552004-09-18T12:29:00.000-04:002004-09-18T12:29:00.000-04:00I just Googled ["Paul Santos" + "Age of Mythology"...I just Googled ["Paul Santos" + "Age of Mythology"] and there were no matches! Are you sure you exist?? ;)Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03101225465908877393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034848.post-1095484939177880162004-09-18T01:22:00.000-04:002004-09-18T01:22:00.000-04:00No offense taken. I like your metaphysical questio...No offense taken. I like your metaphysical question, though, pretty funny. It reminds me of the quote (and I'm paraphrasing), "if you can access Google from anywhere, and at any time, then you are omniscient, like God."<br /><br />Google is a mystery to a lot of people...actually scratch that. The INTERNET is a mystery to a lot of people. People think that it holds secrets, that it holds answers to life. The consequence is that we give it more power than it really deserves.<br /><br />At any rate, I do exist. Try "Paul Santos" and "Age of Mythology."<br /><br />-Paul SantosThe Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714270205620073129noreply@blogger.com
