Google can be your friend
Keeps bringing folks here looking for r*c*st j*k*s -- remind me to slap Virginia Postrel next time I see her -- but I figure this power can be used for good as well as for evil.
So, next time any of these folks do an ego search:
- Elizabeth Loring Purnell
- Jessica Skolnik
- Kimberly Murphy
- Kimberly Roan Makarainen (or Mäkäräinen, if you want to be all diacritical)
- Meredith Tarr
- Tisha Stima
- Saehee Chang
- Kat McNiece
- Michelle McQuade
- Anja Thilenius
- KC Beyer
- Rhondie Voorhees
- William S. Carroll (because I do know some men, you know)
With any luck, they'll end up here, notice the mailto: link, and get in touch.
Yep, using the distorted power of blogs in Google search results to track down old friends is probably wrong. Sue me.
Damn. Forgot Sue's last name.
Update: Added some more names, as I go down memory lane.
No, there is no such thing as too much Minnie Riperton. Anyone who says different is a damn lie.

I did this once, and it netted a couple of long lost friends. I might do it again sometime! Let me know if it works for you.
Damn...reading that old thread...it's frightening how little things change.

That's fucking genius. I'm going to do it on my site. Thanks!

Looked up old HS friends, only found one (Khan! In real estate?!). Altho if I shell out $$, I could contact 5/6 on Classmates.com. Ain't happening.

Dru, will do. And no, they never learn, and they never change. It's part of their, um, charm.
Dwayne, you mean I blew my one genius idea, possibly of my life, on this? Nuts.
Ronn, I didn't have any friends in high school, you insensitive clod!
Sorry, too many Slashdot polls. No, I ain't paying money to find any of them folks.

That's okay, I blew my one genius idea on my technique for opening new CD's, wrapping and all, with just my left thumb.
I've got an iPod now.

What a great idea, Aaron! (And not just 'cause Dwayne said it was - hi Dwayne!) I think I'll follow suit as well.
