Hey--just think about what it does to your self-esteem to plug in your
*own* *name* (with or without quotation marks, doesn't matter) and end
up nowhere in the first 100 results...

(=david bowie linguistics= does pretty good for me, though, even though
my professional homepage is lower than my CV and my list of links; top
link is Jesse Sheidlower's _Slate_ article on the 2005 ADS WotY vote,
which i'll happily let people see as their first impression of me.)
