At some point or another we've all Googled our own name to see what comes up. Unless you happen to be more famous than every other *Your Name Here,* what you probably found were your binomial counterparts, or people who share your first and last name. Who are these people? It's easy to laugh at them and say to yourself, "Ha, Ha, I'm glad I don't look like that," but they would say the same thing about you! Despite the fact that these binomial counterparts are complete random strangers, the more you look into their lives the more you feel connected to them, even proud in some cases. For example, good for you Andrew Dillon, Chief Executive of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence. Way to make the rest of us proud, including Cornell Ph.D graduate Andrew Dillon, who specializes in Economic Development. And I salute you too Robin Williams look-alike Andrew Dillon, Associate Professor of Information Science and Informatics and Adjunct Associate Professor of Computer Science and Instructional Systems Technology at Indiana University. I bet you are smart. You might even find other things in common with these folks. For instance I go to Indiana University. Remarkable. For those of you who searched your name and found pornographers, felons, registered pedophiles, or no results at all, I am sorry. You had no control over the poor decisions of your counterparts, and neither is it your fault if the most powerful search engine on the web has no idea *You*, or anyone else named *You,* exists. So, it's 10.00pm, do you know who your binomial counterparts are? Check it out now @ http://www.google.com/
