Signed up for a beta account on plazes, and, by pure coincidence, the one person online in my area was a guy named Greg Mote. This piqued my curiousity, so I dropped him an email. It looks like we’re related somewhere betweeen 6 and 10 generations back.
Greg, if you read this, my apologies for taking the “mote” username on flickr, delicious, and so many others of those web applications. =p.
The brief exchange we had about genalogy reminds me, I should copy down that family tree that’s hanging on the wall next time I go back home to visit the folks.

Plazes is fun. If only I traveled more, it would be cool to see dots all across the globe where my computer has touched the internet. I did get one very mis-labeled place which showed up in the middle of the harbor south of Singapore and now shows up in Tampa, Florida.
No problem with the mote usernames. I know there are other Mote people on the internet, I’m related to a lot of them. I am suprised that the other Greg Motes out there, you know who you are, have not taken up all the gregmote usernames. Although someone did beat me to gregmote at gmail dot com.
My dad thinks he remembers seeing John Asa Mote somewhere, he said he would look into it when he gets a chance to dig through his files.
