>They’ve got it all wrong

Robin (who’s too young to remember Jamuna the elephant..) over at RCB nudged me in the direction of Personas, an MIT project that

“creates a data portrait of one’s aggregated online identity.
In short, Personas shows you how the Internet sees you.”

It’s a shame that I share my name with

  • The Professor of Soil Engineering at Imperial College, London, who remedied (or at least mitigated) the list of the Tower of Pisa
  • A holy-roller songwriter Christian educator and composer of music for children and adults in Australia
  • My cousin Dave who now goes by the name of John for reasons unknown. (Probably to bask in reflected glory, methinks)
  • An author
  • Various other odds and sods.

because it bundles us up together and puts us through a mincer before slicing and dicing us.

So the management/military/professional bits are probably about right, but art/design/music/books/media/film are decidedly undersized.

(And if you ask Mrs jb, online would make up 110% of the spectrum.)

Education’s a joke.
Squeezed through Universty Entrance by the barest of margins (divine intervention?) , which I took as a sign from above that tertiary education wasn’t really for me.

Although I did go on to become quite an authority in Revenue Management, which led some gullible individuals to inquire whether my degree was in Economics or Maths.

Not too sure about aggression, though.

But if you don’t like it, you can FUCK OFF before I smash yer face in.
