The View From The Foothills

This and That, Now and Then

Now That’s Fame

Prompted by a blog post I read, I typed my full name into the Google search box, just to see what would come up. (Yeah, sure I’ve done it before; but it’s been quite a while.) I’m not used to the keyboard I’m using, though, and my fingers stumbled, and what I actually entered was

William H. Duquett

I left the “e” off of the end of my name. And so help me, Google responded with this:

Did you mean William H. Duquette?

Is that cool or what?

You are more famous than I am! With my name you have to put quotes around the search terms in order to get Google to make a suggestion.

I’d say very!

I appreciated your comments re: the historical roots of the adjective Episcopal over at Semicolon’s blog. Interesting.

I’m glad to know of another Anglican blogger. There aren’t many of us, especially ones who blog on topics other than the ongoing drama in Anglicanism!

The ironic thing is, the top items returned on that search aren’t for anything I’ve gone out of my way to put on the web…they are for a paper I co-wrote a decade ago, relating to stuff I haven’t done since then.

Hi William,
I found your blog via a google search on “descanso sundial” - I was over there drawing it yesterday.

It appears that you’re a local, also, as I saw from the deer browsing at JPL.
I look forward to your other community posts, I’ve added you to my RSS people …
