1352 - Where are you?

You could be everywhere.

I was doing the ol' look up my name on google just to see what was out there and happen to think about google images. Oh yeah, I was there too. But I found this little diddy when searching through them.

http://names.whitepages.com/map/First.Last.US.gif

Obviously my first and last names were in the last part of the URL. I tried to find the application that generated it but couldn't. But I did find out that if you just change the name in the URL it works. So copy and paste the link and put in your name and you'll find out how many of you there are in the US. I assume this works with country codes in other countries.

Here's how many of me there are around the country. There may be enough of me that another one might have the same birthday (today).

Happy Birthday

There are at least one of me in every state but North Dakota. I say at least because they list 1-19 of me in several states, including my own. I wonder if I moved to North Dakota, there would then be at least one of me in ever state, or if there would then be none of me in Arkansas? I would test this out, but North Dakota sucks during winter.
