Yesterday was my birthday. I was really surprised and delighted by the response.
Some wonderful people made me this birthday video:
(The extra gift Jordan alludes to turns out to be an iTunes voucher. I am really looking forward to getting some great stuff with it.)
And Loz sent me a package!

Dude…anyone with that many friends has no business alluding to his ‘social lepresy’. False advertisement.
Happy day.
Hehe, I see Miss Ögonblickligen was mentioned here… she’s quite pleased! And of course it’s still your birthday in this corner of the Planet Earth so if you don’t mind, we’ll still be celebrating for a bit
Yay!and btw Jeb makes a very good point. from now on you have to be overly optimistically ecstatic about life!
Hey John, I haven’t had any Internet until now but in line with your suggestion in the Christmas post I’m going to make a donation on your behalf to Médecins Sans Frontières to help poor Christians get medical treatment. I hope your birthday was a good one and that the year will bring great things for you (or, alternatively, that you bring great things for the year).
