I just opened a new google page (Chrome), my home page, and lo and behold it has a new logo of a cake with other goodies (smaller cakes, candles, wrappers, ...) and when I clicked on it it said Happy Birthday Robert!

How the heck can they do that! ...Because it is my birthday, as a matter of fact!

Is it because of my new PC, or Windows 8.1, or ??? Are you guys/gals seeing the same thing as I do? :cryforjoy:
 
That's what I figure Joe because I did register all about me on my home google chrome page! ...So yes, they must know about that and this is what I get back; very cool feedback! :) ...Makes me feel human again. :cool:

And I only did that about a week ago because of that new laptop I just bought. And with Windows 8.1 now instead of my old Windows XP.

But Tuesday I am returning this new laptop for a full refund, and will be starting all over again!
{The internal left speaker is caput!}
 
Happy belated Birthday Bob!

I hope you really enjoyed your day!
 
Thx Mike. ...I wouldn't have mentioned it if it wouldn't have been for Google on my own home page; that's the first time ever I've seen this.

Do you guys get something like that as well?

By the way, I got an email from Harley Davidson's management team of their website. I'm a member there too, and they know my birthday. ...Enjoy the day and safe ride.
 
You're not late Michael, it's still on. ...Google was simply ahead of the curve. ...Thx! :)

* In exact time, Eastern Canada time, I added one more year to my score starting eight and a half hours ago. I'm still on for another fifteen and a half hours - that is if you consider 24 hours a reasonable time to celebrate, after you were born.
Or! At my time here on the Canadian west coast, till midnight tonight; I still have a little over eleven hours to go with the celebrations.

I'm 29. ... Do I look like it, or younger? :D ...Alright, party time, and with wine, cheese and girls for everybody!
 
Nope, never happened to me and won't anytime in future. I don't use Chrome (it sucks) and I don't do social media or anything like that. If a site or what have you "requires" my date of birth, I go elsewhere. I have a rule: My date of birth is irrelevant to everything! It is not for public knowledge and not even for my own knowledge. Anybody with that knowledge trying to announce or acknowledge my coming into existence (or "birthday" in the popular vernacular) may end up regreting it very quickly.

That out of the way and only applying to me, since you partake in celebration, Happy Birthday Bob.

:D ... It's just a birthday Eric; won't hurt anyone, and no one is going to hurt me.
...I got nothing, so nothing to lose - Bob Dylan

The only social mediums I use are my family and close friends (private emails) and audio and cinema and bike and philosophy forums.

I don't tweet and I never go to Facebook. Some people think that I'm a social troubadour, but I'm much more than simple that; I'm a real audiophile, musicophile, cinephile, and audio hobbyist.
Some of my best friends are scientists, and artists. ...And from all life venues.

For me only it isn't worth it. I am told when I was little it was a big deal, but I have not acknowledged my date of coming into existence (not sure of the exact date) for the last....from what I can tell, 30 years at least. If one is into celebrating their date of birth, then more power to them, but not me, man. No thank you.

I have neither family per se' and no physical local friends, so while a screw job bummer on one hand, on the other, less trouble.
I've never been to Facebook (wouldn't want to) and don't have a clue how to tweet or follow it.
I'm definitely not an Audiophile, haven't had a movie I've wanted to see in the last 15 years, but I guess I could be a Musicophile, perhaps more on the scientific side, sort of, but then there's the way I listen to music....it gets confusing.
I dig science, always have. Michio Kaku is my favorite instructor for Physics. He got me really into it, but it didn't take much to do it as I was already into it basically. I like string theory and he hooked me with that one. How? He actually taught me how to teach myself. He inspired me to associate it with music and that blew the door to my mind open. The guy could teach this stuff to anybody.
 
The older I get the more I am amazed by our world; the imbalance between the rich and the poor, the fast technologies, the virtual world, the planet's deterioration, our natural resources and the careless use of them, our leaders, our inability to resolve the simplest problems, and the toughness to keep the good life values in check.

The world is just not America, it is the entire planet with all the tribes and populations.

The good thing today is the expansion of our sources of information, the wider distribution channels, and the power to react accordingly or do nothing at all.

When we were all younger, twenty-nine years ago, we did not have the things that we have today; the good ones, and the bad ones.
You starve to death, you still die, in many countries, you believe in something other than your next neighbor, you get decapitated, in some countries.

The older I get the more aware I become; and I see the good, and the bad.

I simply cannot turn a blind eye to what's going on around me on my planet, I just can't.
And often I'd rather live my own life peacefully without bothering about all the problems in our world. But seriously deep down inside I know that I am missing some. It's my responsibility as an Earth citizen to make this a better place for me and everyone else surrounding me.
I'll never be truly happy till peace and equality are everywhere. After all I'm human, it's in my blood, and it's my birthday.
