words of my neighborhood
given to grumbly growling
and big happy grins.

eclectic personal ramblings
unchecked verbosity
ruminations and pondering

why does the sock monkey love it so?

It seemed somehow that politicians were very important. And yet, anything seemed important about them except their politics.

The Google Name Game Biography


By way of the newly-redesigned Beatbox, I learned of the Google Name Game, in which one does a Google exact-phrase search for the phrase "Your-first-name is" and collects the results.

I decided to collate my results into a sort of Q-and-A bio of myself. Naturally, most of the facts are wrong, but I think the spirit is mostly accurate.

Enjoy...

What do you look like?

Jonathan is cute.

Jonathan is a hunk!

What kind of work do you do?

Jonathan is a staff writer for O'Reilly & Associates, a job that allows him to exercise the right and left sides of his brain but little of his body.

Jonathan is a competent technologist, information scientist, and project manager.

In his current research, Jonathan is applying data mining technology (otherwise known as Exploratory Data Analysis or Knowledge Discovery in Databases)...

Jonathan is also known around the Labs as 'The Cleaner' as he throws his hands into many projects and cleans up other people's messes.

Does that really pay the bills? What else do you do?

Jonathan is a hot tramp!

Jonathan is available by appointment.

Ummm...ok...so, uh...what do you do for fun?

Jonathan is one of the world's leading polar photographers and expeditioners.

Jonathan is also widely published on marine life subjects.

Jonathan is a student in London who spends most of his time (and money) on theatre.

Jonathan is heavily involved in supporting community projects, such as the Teddy Bear Patrol to collect teddy bears to distribute to area police and fire departments to use to comfort children in crisis situations

Jonathan is Principal Cellist with Manchester Camerata.

Jonathan is musical director of two large adult choruses.

Jonathan is one third of the basement-rock band THE MUCKRAKERS, along with Todd Berg and David Casimir.

Through his pervasive experience, Jonathan is equally at home in both the popular and classical music worlds.

Jonathan is also a founder member of the UK Coloured Pencil Society.

Are you up to anything interesting these days?

Jonathan is set to star in director Mike Hodges new film.

Jonathan is cast in the Radio 4 presentation of The Weather in the Streets (The Classic Serial series) beginning Sun 10 Feb.

Jonathan is Planning for New Years.

Jonathan is not currently on tour. You don't have to believe us, you can also check Pollstar.

What have others had to say about you?

"Jonathan is an incredible communicator. ... Jonathan is a very talented speaker!"

The head of Saint Francis Xavier's, Brother Francis, said: "Jonathan is not a swot. ... We are so proud of him."

"Jonathan is a great communicator and he brings an element of fun to his work," states Kathy Ireland.

"Jonathan is my major TURN ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

What is some good advice your friends have given you?

"I would think that what is important for Jonathan is that he write according to his muse, and let the audience come to him."

And how do you think your friends see you?

The thing about Jonathan is that he never ducks anything.

Jonathan is an Investment that Pays for Itself. Jonathan makes events fun, memorable and most importantly, financially successful.

Tell us an interesting story about yourself.

Guided by the unforgettable Alex, his young Ukrainian translator, who writes in a sublimely butchered English, Jonathan is led on a quixotic search.

In addition, he [Alex] looks and acts like a monkey, confirmed by his eating a banana and pretending that Jonathan is a tree he can climb.

Jonathan is worse than that.

Jonathan is caught up in a maelstrom of malicious gossip.

Again, the thought of David becoming sexually aroused after kissing Jonathan is too threatening for Bible translators.

Why should people visit your site?

Whatever your interest in Jonathan is, from basic drooling to his early guest spots, from his star turn as Will and Thom Riker, to his directorial debut, we've got something for you here.

Any parting words for fans of your blog?

Let us know if you're as excited as Jonathan is about David Bowie coming in this week.
