Personal Becomes Public, or Vice Versa

So here we are again, another blog.

First off, my Persona Map Thing...

I might mention that I have googled myself before, and the results that came up are the same ones I have found previous. Nice to know there aren't more Jeremy's running around since my last check.

A Google Map is fun to toy with. I can get down so close as to possibly see in my own bedroom window (except I keep the curtain closed and there's trees in the way, so don't go trying it, pervert) and can tell how old the pic is by the state of my in-renovation house.

You can also use it to plot journeys made or to be made, like this:

And I believe we were meant to try out another site known as Sketchcast but that seems lame and creepy, so I'm going to let the world know about a fun little page that will consume your entire life...

I suppose what this shows us is society's gradual shift towards plastering our personal information across the internets for all to see. It's somewhat shameful and humbling to think there are people who don't mind the world knowing everything about them.

Vampire Rave. Because vampires are cool. Unless they glitter. I would "interact" with this site, but I'm scared of what might happen to me...

Lifehacker. Yeah, I really need more sites to distract me while I'm trying to do work...

Disaster Map. I like the idea that I can look at the world and see that, somewhere, somebody is suffering more than I am. e.g. there is a biological hazard somewhere in France, I think...

The Generator Blog. Seems like a perfectly good way to waste an afternoon. Or night. Or entire day. I came across the Douchebag Name Generator. It... No I won't tell you, just go try it. I did. And lol'd.

Also tried the Speed Test site, but I'm not sure if it worked... I won't be trying it at home, because my internet sucks.

(I'll be doing the other task of finding three online films later)
