My birthday (Feb 2nd – Groundhogs day!) just passed… what was special about this birthday was Facebook…
I got something around 30 Happy Birthday wishes from (yes, yes, I know that’s not even a significant number on Facebook these days…) a list of ~480 friends (in other words, 6.25% of my listed Facebook friends)… interesting ratio… only 6.25%. hmm…
but, still… 30 is usually a lot more than I get every year so that was pretty cool to see…
The other interesting thing to point out is that with about 480 friends, it is someone’s birthday almost every day… some days of course have more than a couple of birthdays… Thanks to facebook this can all be tracked… I know for a fact that other than a few very close people, I didn’t know anyone else’s birthday until Facebook dawned… welcome to the age of information?

Telus sent me a text message saying that they would be giving me free local calling on my birthday. For the first split second I was really happy. Then I remembered that my birthday was on a Saturday this year… because I already had unlimited calling on weekends, their “generous” offer wasn’t really all that generous.
Telus, if you’d like to impress me for my next birthday, give me free local and long distance calls… this way, weekend or not, I’ll benefit from the offer…
In the meanwhile, I’ll continue using bOK to save on long distance and international calls
