have you ever search engined your GLP handle?

try it!
after someone asked me if i was some guy he used to know named andy (see below), and then reading the jim carrey thread, i got to thinking. maybe i should drop my handle here into a search engine...

wow, that's quite funny--i'm not a gamer. and i definitely don't film my self gaming. i don't even own any type of game console. ain't nobody got time for that. i'm an almost elderly man!

whatever the case, it's kind of funny. or, i guess it could also be scary if you find out that your handle easily leads back to the real you. or, you don't give a fuck. or, you want this to happen. i've seen all of these types here over my decade+ here on GLP.

either way, i found it interesting, and thought it might be a good reminder to keep yourself safe, and keep your handle/glp name totally different from the real you.

personally, i often use some form of obfuscation to mask my whereabouts and identity. i think it is just good prectice for keeping safe online. that's not to say i'm not truthful in my ideas and posts, i just change some of the time and location details. the funny thing is, that this sometimes makes people think they know me as someone i'm not.
so, stay safe people.

sure, big brother can easily find out, and already knows who we are. but still, you don't need to make it any easier for the psychos, stalkers and sociopaths...
