Thankfully, nothing. Funny, I've never done that before even though it seems a popular thing to do.
Edited to add:
Well, nothing but random stuff. First name here, last name there. No alter egos, nothing about myself, although my univ. does pop up, so I must be in there somewhere. But first name is uncommon and my last name was probably made up at Ellis Island.

A novel title with an ISBN number and everything (which wasn't actually published because of the publishing company going out of business).
My place of employment.
Some guy with the same name who was killed in 1981. |

Well? Go ahead! What do you get when you type your own name into Google search?
Share with us. What's floating around in the vast web of information with your name tagged on it?
Gossip?
A crappy college paper that you regret writing?
Perhaps a frat membership listing? |
Quite a bit if in Korean including a space on the Yahoo! Korea directory all for me. If in English, well there's a famous rock climber from Scotland who has the same name. If I do a search on Google Groups with my old email address I can still find posts from 1997 when I tried to start a magazine after high school (failed in a month) and one where I'm trying to find information on a Swedish all-girl rock band because I liked the guitarist. |

Just to name a few incorrect citings:
-CEO
-Christian
-Actor
-6'1"
-Lawyer
-Middleweight boxer
-Sailor
A few are close, but most are way off base. |

Pages and pages on a recently retired college football coach, if I use my everyday name.
If I go with my 'official' name, the first link goes to another linguist at a US university. How's that for coincidence? |

I have about ten hits. The most are about a University of Chicago publication (book chapter in an anthology on Language Policy in the U.S.) which has suddenly gained currency again because of all of the anti-immigration, pro- official English activity going on now. I was pleased to see that my chapter is included on at least one ivy-league syllabus for this spring.
The rest are either travel related publications or have to do with my previous business in the U.S., as well as a couple of charity related things.
It is strange to be google-able. |

| A list of students from my university and one entry from a guy in Ontario. He would be the only other living person to share my name in Canada. I checked when I worked for the government in the early 90's, and the only other person on record who shared our name was 95 then. |

| The "other me" is a chemist and a Contra dance caller. Funny, because I used to Contra back in high school! |
