It’s time for my annual birthday post. The day after my birthday, for each of the last 4 years (including today), I’ve posted the various sources of birthday well-wishes. It’s a fun activity throughout the day, and it’s neat to see how things change (or don’t change) over time.
A few rules/observations:
I do double-count. If someone passes along regards via two media, they each get counted.
Many kind belated wishes trickle in after the big day. While I still cherish those, I don’t count them here. For this reason, physical birthday cards are a little under-represented.
I’m not obsessed with how many friends I have. This is more of an exercise in tracking technology use over time.
This year’s and last year’s birthdays fell on weekend days, so in-person greetings are at a disadvantage, as I just see many more people I know on the average workday.
Facebook was put atop the chart this year so that other categories would not be distorted. It’s amazing (and heart-warming) how many friends that I haven’t seen in years reached out yesterday via Facebook.
Even though Facebook recently purchased Beluga, I still carved out Beluga as a separate category. If, by next year, they’re fully integrated, I may have to get creative :-)
Though email technically grew, year-over-year it’s clearly decreasingly relevant.
Thank you so much to all who remembered. I never forget how lucky I am to have such great friends and family, but it’s fun to have the point driven home every March 6th.

I love this art project.
Serena Malyon, a third-year art student,  decided to simulate a tilt-shift photography effect (using  Photoshop) on 12 of Van Gogh’s most famous paintings.
