It's 2011 and I've decided it's time to get back into writing. In the time honoured tradition of making stupid agreements after consuming an entire bottle of champagne on new year's eve, I am bound to write one blog a day during 2011. There is no limit on length or topic so readers (if any) beware...as Truman Capote once said, "The first draft of everything is shit." Don't say you weren't warned =p

Happy Un-Birthday!
What better way to spend a Friday than by celebrating Un-Birthdays around the world? This all started when my friend Patrick decided to conduct an experiment on Facebook. Apparently, he read an article that claims many birthday greetings on the site are computer generated, therefore impersonal and disingenuous. Putting all his online friends to the test, Patrick changed his birthday to today and waited to see what kind of comments would get posted. Obviously quite a few people posted birthday greetings, but not all of us were fooled.
Apologies for the gigantic photo, but screen shots can be tricky for the inexperienced to display properly. I'm happy to say that I'm part of the few who got it right =) Either way, there's nothing wrong with basking in a bit of online love, even if you didn't quite deserve it. A very merry un-birthday to all today - unless of course it is actually your birthday today. You'll just have to make do with a proper birthday greeting; Happy Birthday!
