So I Googled myself… a so-called “vanity google”. I was amused with the random smattering of results spanning about every topic, adventure, and interest I’ve had in the last 12 years. Here are a few of the more notable ones in order of Google ranking.
www.stevemooradian.com :: 2006 :: First hit! It better have been. My business card site. I am at the top of my name.
Post on alt.bbs.doors :: 1994 :: Where the heck did this come from? This was an ad I did for an expansion program to an old computer BBS game (called a door game) titled Trade Wars. Myself and Wendell did the ad for a friend (Tazor Software) who had written the expansion called Trade World. Holy Smokes! I just googled for it and found it available for download here! Craziness!
LCC Soccer :: 2005 :: Here I’m listed as co-leading soccer at Loudonville Community Church with Rick Marsan (who’s a better soccer player than three of me put together)… but unfortunately I haven’t been able to play, let alone lead, for several months so this is more of a misnomer than anything. Rick’s always been the real leader.
RPI Class of ‘96 :: 2001 :: This is our class homepage but hasn’t been updated since our five year reunion!? I’m listed as “attending”. Supposedly I’m re-doing this site for our ten year which is (let me check the calendar) THIS YEAR! Joey… get me that info!
Pocket Grandmaster :: 2004 :: The top of the portable computing chess program food chain is Pocket Grandmaster… voted best PocketPC chess program (again). I helped with graphics by making an additional piece set, coloring some existing sets, and making some wood and marble board designs.
Psycho Doom 2 Level :: 1995 :: Ha! The text file for my Doom 2 level I created way back when… the same one that eventually got published on some deathmatch compilation CD (which I actually own a copy of). I am probably more knowledgeable on the nuances of playing this level than on most of my courses I took back then.
Some of the language in this text file is poignant, by the way.
Siena College Army ROTC Alumni :: 1996 :: Wow! I remember all of these guys! My email address is wrong in here, but it’s a great page for memories. Who keeps this stuff up here?
Okay, that’s enough for now… I don’t want to bore you to death. I’d be interested in hearing anyone’s more peculiar vanity Google results.

…and yes, I’m ranked 107 in the world at Mario Kart 64 … back when I used to play, I was in the top 40
Wow. Just for comparison purposes, I checked how many hits Google has for your name. 266. Not a bad bunch to lurch through, particularly when the first hit is actually you. My name, unfortunatley, produces 80,000 hits. I had no idea it was so common. A line from one of my favorite non-hits:
“Mr John Hare Discusses Wild Camels.”
Well, I couldn’t find a hit on myself in the first 270. I than used “john-hare rpi” and found some hits thanks to you and your DOOM WADs. No other obvious combinations turned up anything for me.
I haven’t done a vanity search in a while. I found something interesting in the top two:
Dean Lewis: Stand-up comedian whose datebook included a performance in January 2005 at Penn State Erie. Note: I just took a job last week at that campus.
Dean Lewis Associates: A distributor of hardware items including latches and fasteners. Note: my RPI research is in plastic fasteners.
I did make the first page, but just barely.
milo :: MarioKart was a favorite of mine for a while… but I neevr turned pro like you.
wendell :: I thought your presentation on wild camels was a high point in your career, personally. Along with wild lions and camels and their being affected my war (specifically missiles). I’m sure the overall anonymity works in your favor.
dean :: Those are some Erie coincidences.
Nothing on me. But someone with my name is on Death Row in Mansfield, Ohio.
