Brown PHP

Ok, I started this site so that I can work on projects involved with PHP that I wouldn’t normally do in my current job.  Also in the future, after I have built up a few articles, I would also like using this as a resource to find a job that is heavily involved with PHP and web applications.  After doing a little research, I’m beginning to notice that with my name being, Douglas Brown or Doug Brown for short, it is a bit like having a name like John Smith.

I would like to tell my prospective employers if they would like to find me, just Google Douglas Brown or Doug Brown, and I will be the first result.  I think that this is going to take a lot more work.  Searching ‘douglas brown’ today produces results of over 2,250,000.  Perhaps competing for ‘doug brown’ would make more sense, as the competition out there is less than 500,000 results.  Either way, this is going to take some time.

I’m sure that there are a lot of you out there in the same boat as I am, but I know there are a few of you lucky people that can brand your name without any problem.  When a new web app like Twitter pops up, you can just use your real name, rather I need to use some vague alias like dlbrown06.

Anyway, I just wanted to use this post as a little bit of a rant, and I guess having a post with my name in it won’t hurt at all.  Today is the day that I begin branding myself, Douglas Brown, as a web recognized PHP Developer! lol

If any of you have a name you feel is impossible to brand, take a moment and mourn with me please.
