One of the perks of having a web presence is that old friends find you. In the last two weeks, I've heard from three people I hadn't talked to in a long time…in one case, since high school. Of course, it helps to have a weird last name. It used to be that when folks mauled "Evanier," I envied the Mike Smiths of the world. No longer. If you enter my name into any decent search engine, darn near every hit is me or my cousin David. It would not surprise me if, in the future, we saw fewer and fewer people with odd surnames change them to something simpler.
