I'm not the only one to worry about this. In fact, its pretty common for parents to register domain names for their unborn children. Some wonder if they should even post pictures, much less anything more revealing. I never even thought of the possibility that somebody could approach my child, and recognizing him, pretend that they weren't strangers.

I never thought of this potentially much more devastating reason either:

The main reason I don't use their names is so that when their high school enemies (or buddies) Google their names they won't find a bunch of potentially embarrassing stories and pictures. I try not to write stuff that I think will mortify them, but who knows?

Frankly, being a blogger with a prominently displayed name, I've never been too concerned about the privacy implications of writing online. That's because I know the real truth: everybody who reads this knows who I am!

Okay, so that's not entirely true. In any case, for those of you who are friends, and those of you who are friends I haven't met yet, introducing andersonkovacs.com That number down there is going down way to fast!
