Google Alerts Found My Obituary?

So, I get a Google Alerts email once a week for any occurrences of my name that show up on the Internet. Imagine my surprise when it alerted me to an obituary with my name on it. Spooky pre-Halloween surprise?
After thinking about it, I am sad that I missed out on the chance to meet a guy a shared a name with. Sounds like he was a pretty nice dude, as well.

Growing a Mustache for a Good Cause


I realize I haven't posted anything in awhile, and I am due to update this page with some information about how things are going with the new job (awesome) and at home (the girlfriend broke her wrist). I promise I will get around to all that, but right now I am making a plea for sponsorship for my mustache.

During the month of November (currently renamed to "Movember") I will be growing a mustache to raise money for prostate cancer research. More details about this charity event can be found at http://www.movember.com/. I will be part of a team from work. If you would like to sponsor me, I'm asking for £5 per sponsorship, but have been amazed at how generous people have been. Click here to go directly to my sponsorship page or go to movember.com and sponsor my registration number: 65424.

I promise to send mustache updates to anyone that sponsors me!
