My name is Kristoffer Berdal [1]
You can't really remove unwanted results, unless they are something you have written yourself, but a lot of those are impossible to remove, most places you can't edit old posts.
Besides, I do not think everyone should be held accountable for all the stupid things they wrote on the internet when they were 13 :-)
You can create better results. The more positive results you have, the lower the unwanted things will rank.
Things like projects, articles you have written and so on. If you can get enough of them ranking high then the unwanted stuff will be 'hidden'.
As for tying it into my homepage [2]: I probably should but I haven't so far. It's far from what I want it to be, and mostly just a short introduction and links to my Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn/GitHub.
PS: I know the design is _very_ similiar to Mahdi Yusuf's [3] old design, while I didn't copy anything I feel bad it ended up looking so similar. I should give him credit somewhere since it's what inspired me to make it look much cleaner and minimal than it did before.
