Seems I'm a very interesting fellow.

Acting Appearances

Starring Roles
Social Studies (1997) - Bryan Bowser

Co Starring Roles
Hercules: The Legendary Journeys - Chief - Let the Games Begin (1996)
------------------------------------------------------
That particular version of me is married to Vanessa Lee Evigan, an actress born in '81... freaky... the guy may be about my age.
-----------------------------------------------------------
MobyGames Summary:
Chris McKibbin has worked on games as early as 1995 and as recently as 1998. Has been credited with Special Thanks To and Animation. Has worked with the following game development companies: Electronic Arts, Origin, Activision, Inc. and EA Sports.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chris Mckibbin is good at rallying the troops. Unfortunately he's not very good at rallying them in the same direction. He has many good analogies (see the HBO reference above, that was Chris) yet he's never quite certain what comes beyond that very vague, very blurry conception stage. Another little hint: it's called WORK. It's called development. It's called reality. Try it. Rolling up one's sleeves is not covered in Princeton business courses.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Apparently I also attended the Wood Green School in the UK.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I also am a grad in the Astronomy section at Boston University.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

ABSTRACTION OF SOUND LOGIC A COLLECTION OF SLO-FO HITS
14 track collection of unsigned irish and new zealand acts featuring sound of bells, capratone, moonpalace, sunbear, chris mckibbin and many more
folkrum records cd 13.95
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just plain freakish how many people have the same name as me. Not like my last name is Smith or Miller...

Google searching my name comes up with Civ2 scenarios I made that are advailable on Apolyton

I once google searched the name of a girl I'm rather fond of and hadn't seen for ages, only for it to come up with a cheesy home made obituary page for someone of the same name (no photos, birth dates, etc included on the site). That really freaked me out untill I saw her about a month ago.

Yes, I have. Got spare money?

Delusions of grandeur here, the only Google result for my exact name is a Chemistry professor in Chicago who runs a young Chemist's group.

What was also cool on Google was when I was in New York and was going to meet an Internet date. He told me all kinds of stuff about how successful he was, books he had written, via his email to me. I was dubious, searched him up and validated what he told me, I even got a still picture of an interview/discussion thing on CNN. Although somone with his name had been married twice and had four children he assured me it was not him!

When you say name, do you mean name, or handle? I did both, just to be safe

My handle is actually a word, so it returned around 425000 results.

My real name is also the name of an irish folk singer, and it returned 359 000 results, mostly about this other guy, but some about something to do with the american military in turkey. How odd!

On my name I have 5 hits, 2 from my office website, one from a quote of mine in a dutch computermagazine, one from the guestbook on the site of a friends restaurant. The last one is really cool: from some family-tree in which some people got married in 1700 and one had a stepfather who's name is mine exact.

On my handle I find three hits, none excessable.

I did the internet search.

In defense of myself, I must say that the alleged connection to the NWO is a falsehood, I do NOT fly a black helicopter, at least 14 of those federal warrants are false, I did NOT convert to Judaism to vote for Hillary, I do SO wear clean underwear daily, I never shared a college dorm room with Bill Clinton and numerous of his girlfriends, I did NOT ghostwrite Monica's book, that story about me and the goat is untrue, I don't own a nuclear submarine, I don't sell suitcase nukes on the side, and Osama bin Laden is NOT my new gardener!

Since everyone with my surname is related to me, everyone with my name is either me or a relative.

First entry that's not me: Johan Henrik Palme, financier, founder of Djursholm. The only other entry I've been able to find is a Johan Rodriguez Palme, Harvard alumni 0f 1966, but that web page seems to have dissapeared since. I do know there is at least one more by that name, but he doesn't seem to be represented on-line.

2. Investigated in the Clinton Administration's Filegate scandel

3. Doing research in growing hybrid corn

4. "Often clueless morons would post messages like this one "

5. A number of references to papers I actually wrote.

I get 45 hits, most of which are about me, and most of those again related to civ. The only other hits are pages containing the same first and last name, but separate from eachother. It looks like I´m the only person with my name in the world (or at least on the Internet).
My own Civ2 site seems to have been dropped by Google, though, while it used to appear quite high. But then again, my site has been going up and down (mostly down) for the last two months (damn quota limit, and it isn´t even visited that often, go figure)... Maybe I should move it

My handle gives me 226,000 hits, Mercator seems to be a popular company name.

Got one exact phrase match with my real name, apparently I signed a petition for the 10th anniversary of tiananmen. (country and city mentioned were correct) I can’t remember ever doing that, but it could be worse, I suppose.

Searhcing for my full name I get 6,980 hits. Most of them are pages where there are people with my first name and others with my last name. When I put my name in quotes to filter those out, I get 53 hits.

Most of those are Civ-related, but apparently I also review music and translate books.

I work for the European Space Agency, VP of some international environmental protection agency, conceptual artist, volleyball coach and a primary schooler among others. Not surprising seeing as Van Dijk is a fairly common surname, and Alex(ander) isn't exactly rare either.

Got a couple of hits myself (paper published, university newspaper etc.).
