Self Profiling Excercise

I know this is supposed to be a blog about my little HT project, but first I googled myself as part of an MBA class exercise that promotes internet self-awareness. The idea is to be cognizant of, and potentially react to, various pieces of information that may be 'out there' on you... I wasn't really sure what would come up, (I was relieved to see there do not appear to be too many Rob Cavaleri porn stars out there though...)

I first was interested in the 'other Rob Cavaleri's out there. There is one fellow who appears to be way into off-roading, and is contemplating weather a 302, 345, or 392 motor is right for his next monster truck project.  (I'd go with a 405 big block personally..)   There's a  Robert 'Cavalieri' (not quite the same last name) who is an endodontist that has a really cool website name for his practice:  'drcav.com'... sort of makes me wish I was going for my Phd instead...    Oh well. Something to think about if business school and animation don't work out.   As for myself,  there's a flurry of different things out there, covering a pretty vast span of activities. There's several YouTube videos of my half-way decent attempts at trials riding up some pretty big rocks, such as the one on above (click the text below pic for video..).   There is of course the typical LinkedIn references;  I've been working in animation for about 17 years, I've accumulated a pretty good sized list of contacts.  Of course like everybody, I've got a Facebook profile,  no beer pictures from college, but I did have a picture tagging war with a co-worker, where we uploaded goofy pics to a sub-heading 'Rob's Co-workers', and then tagged various images we found on the web said co-workers name as 'My Friend George'..  Imagine Mr T. sitting in  Santa Clause garb, holding an old lady on his knee. Click here if you must...  Let's see, aside from the videos and social networking stuff, there's a decent number of articles and websites that have information about my Filmography. I've worked on about a dozen projects that are listed on the IMDB, although not all the projects I've worked on are listed here. There's also some references to a couple of Siggraph papers that I wrote, and a really useful article on doing Crowd Simulation at Bluesky back in 2005 for the movie "Robots" written by of my co-workers wrote, who used to work for me in the effects dept. This is really good timing,  we have an upcoming project that requires crowd simulation, but we lost our old references!  Well, that just about covers the majority of the key pieces of info on the first 4 or so pages of a Google search on me. I suppose I'll need to check back on this more often, it was fun to see all of the surprise references in here.
