Overlooked

I got this e‑mail Fri­day, but unfor­tu­nate­ly, it was dumped into my junk mail. Damn fil­ters! It was from my own name­sake. If I can’t trust a guy named Jason Cole­man, who the heck can I trust?

Hey, I am the Jason Cole­man at Jason Coleman.info. I was sort of offend­ed that there was no infor­ma­tion explain­ing me on your blog. I have to be the most inter­est­ing out of them all :) . I was in the Peace Corps in Gabon for 2 1/2 years, lived in Cen­tral Amer­i­ca for 4 months, lived in Namib­ia South­ern Africa for 7 months and now work for Peace Corps HQ in Wash­ing­ton DC. I actu­al­ly have a blog at www.jasoncoleman.info/blog check it out if ya want

To Jason:

That is so cool. I agree, you are in the run­ning for the most inter­est­ing Jason Cole­man. My wife says I still get her vote, though. How­ev­er, I can say that since you are the only Jason Cole­man who has tak­en the time to e‑mail me about that page (includ­ing the ones Google turned up to include on there), you get moved to the top of the list! Just imag­ine all the hits your blog will be get­ting now. You’d bet­ter go ahead and start pay­ing for the extra band­width, becuase you’re going to need it, my friend.

This site is all about branch­ing out and reach­ing oth­er peo­ple. Friends, fam­i­ly, strangers who just hap­pen to share my name. I’m glad that some folks , in their spare time sit­ting at work are stum­bling their way across here while auto­googling. It brings a warm, fuzzy feel­ing to my heart. JasonColeman.info, thanks for the e‑mail. I’m just a cou­ple hours south, if there’s any­thing you need. Like, say an I.D. with your name and a less flat­ter­ing pho­to. I’m there for you, man.

  1. Edi­tor’s Note: this is a re-post of an e‑mail Kevin sent me while the com­ments were off for a while. Thanks Kevin.

    I’ve only ever “met” (read: inter­act­ed online with) one oth­er Kevin O’Mara.
    He was a mil­i­tary kid liv­ing in Hawaii if I remem­ber correctly.
    There was anoth­er Kevin O’Mara who appar­ent­ly flew with the 

    Regard­ing auto­googling — I only recent­ly start­ed updat­ing katieandkevin.com with any fre­quen­cy. After I did … let’s see, it was Mon­day, May 23rd when I put my first post with the new lay­out and Blog­ger back-end. After I start­ed updat­ing my name shot straight up through the Google ranks of Kevin O’Maras. Well, it was that plus the fact that every time I com­ment­ed in some­one’s blog I left my first and last name as a link to my page. So now when you google ‘kevin o’mara’
    I’m top on the list. Same thing hap­pened to Katie thanks to the page

    ‘katie mills’ now returns our site at the top. Even a search for ‘katie and kevin’ shows us in the top five. Sad­ly, how­ev­er, a search for ‘kevin and katie’ gives noth­ing. Well, maybe it does but I’m too lazy to look past the first page.

  2. Glad to hear that all of the Jason Cole­mans of the world are get­ting along!! I have only been con­tact­ed by one oth­er duane moody, and I think that it was spam. Darn!
