Today is my 16th birthday, which basically means it’s the last day that I can say that I’m 15 years old. Not that I would though, because that would confuse people. However, in reality, I don’t actually turn 16 until 8:33 PM Pacific time tonight, so I’m theoretically still 15 for the next fourteen hours after I post this. WHATEVER. I’M 16 NOW, OKAY?

But just so you can get in on it, I thought I’d highlight some funny birthday eCards for you to enjoy. These come from the wonderful folks at AmericanGreetings.com, the creators of the singing turkey eCards that come out every Thanksgiving. I really liked Midieval Birthday Wish, Old Guy’s Pick-up Lines, and Do Birthdays Suck? Quiz.

There’s some exciting stuff happening this weekend. Not only will I have a long long long to-do list to tackle, but tomorrow, David Lewis and I will be interviewing Eric Faerber (wGEric) on phpBB Weekly, and then on Sunday, I’m hoping that we’ll be able to record a great episode of PreviewCast, featuring a number of reviews of new things! (Subject to change depending on if certain people show up.)

I’m certainly hoping/planning to have a better birthday this year than I did last year!

Yes, that’s right–this Friday (September 28th) will be my sixteenth birthday, and hopefully it will be a much better one than my fifteenth birthday (which means that there hopefully WON’T be a budget crisis school board meeting where all heck breaks loose, and I hopefully won’t get sick during the weekend of my birthday, especially considering I just got sick two weeks ago.

However, it is going to be my birthday, and so I thought I’d put up a completely self-serving note that if you would like to send me a little birthday gift, there’s a Donate box right over there on the sidebar to your left. I don’t have a real job due to the fact that I do so much volunteering, and the work that I do on this blog, my two podcasts, and also articles that I’ve guest blogged over the past few months are done completely for free. (The occasional advertisement is really only enough to pay for the hosting and software for these projects, and not much else.) Not to mention a full-time school commitment and my participation in a number of volunteer organizations, and you see where I’m coming from.

My birthday is this Friday, and I do have my eyes on a couple of things, so if you are interested, please feel free to send me a little gift via PayPal. I’d really appreciate it!
