Its my birthday on thursday and all my family want to know what i want, i cant think of anything. Do you guys know of anything cool and relatively cheap (£30) like a gadget or something i could ask for? BTW im 16

America! Woo Woo!

Well...I'm in quite a predicament...a good one to be in, mind you. My birthday is coming up, and I'm trying to decide what to ask my parents for. So, what is your opinion? 1. Nintendo Wii 2. Ipod (probably nano) thanks

Happy birthday to me......

Two hundred years today, who'd a' thunk it?

We missed it. it was in september. so happy belayed birthday to knex guns.

It's my birthday today, the 19th of may... I'm 18 and well have been around for around 18 years now. Even jackalopes have birthdays, granted people would find them to be bizarre and fear inducing events we do have them, along with horns. The guys in the chatroom will be glad of this, every time we were talking it's ended up with me launching in to brithday excitement, I didn't have much of one last year so... It's also coming up on my instructabirthday... I know it was absolutely childish to have a forum post but who cares...

Today is my birthday, and i found out i have the same birthday as stevie nicks, so i guess thats pretty kool, for those of you that dont know, stevie nicks was a singer in fleetwood mac, and she sings Very good, today is also my granny's birthday, i need to ask her if people freaked out when abe lincoln was shot, lol, jk

So, I just checked my persona settings... it said my birthday was april 30, 1986 ... i'm may 30, 1986. so I go to change it... when the date is changed, i see birthday changed to 30-06-1986... the sixth month is NOT may... someone made the list either indexed the default value as 1, or they started the numbering with 2... either-way... can someone fix my birthday?

Today, I suppose, is Instructables official 5th year anniversary! Shweet.

Happy B-day GorillazMiko!Everyone!!!! (even though he already announced it...) it's GorillazMiko's Birthday!!!!! Congratulate him!!!Even though I really don't know you and we have barely talked on Instructables......I had planned on making you a present.....but a sudden mesh of important events unfortunately didn't even let me start...So......I have a birthday present for you, but it'll be ready when its ready......Its gonna be pretty rushed...but I hope to at least have it before wednesday....sorry....should I spoil the suprise?

(*Hopes new topic draws people in...*)In lieu of this (is this correct usage?), I was hoping I could also be helped. I'd also like a hovercar... but I think you need a licence...Hmm -- I'm thinking electronic components -- but thats hard for them to get... (They'd get me 1,000 1 Ohm resistors >_>_

Today, while looking at my profile, I realized that the date under "member since" said "Dec 17 2012". So today is my first Instructable birthday!!! What a year! My first year as an instructabler has been amazing. Who would have thought that a website could change someone's life? It did to me, and I really mean it. If it wasn't for this site's push, I doubt that I would have made so many things. I am the kind of person who wants to do a million things but is too lazy to even start one.  But here I am, looking at all the projects I made in just one year and I can hardly believe it. They are more than the amount of projects I made in 20 years! Creating is the best thing in the world and this is what I want to do in my life. Thank you Instructables for helping me realize that. But most of all, I want to say a BIG thank you to the Instructables HQ because this great community wouldn't exist without you. You are wonderful! And another big thank you to all my new instructables friends. Your support and kindness means so much to me! I had never seen such a friendly community anywhere else. I am so happy and proud to be part of it! All of you inspire me to make more and more. I look forward to spending another great year in this creative place with you! :) Linda

Does anyone know how to create the little sound thing inside a birthday card? When you open the card, the sound starts. When you close it, the sound stops. Can it be done with a voice recording?

Best wishes for the years to come!(P.S. Sorry, no car in the driveway.........)

We celebrated Corwin's birthday in the tower at Squid Labs yesterday, and, while up there, fixed up the flag poles and hung a pirate flag. I think it's admirable that we had at least 3 months of a "professional" looking fascade before our true colors bled through. Or, maybe it was just laziness...More pictures here.

It's quite appropriate, given the recent spate of spam threads, to find out that this weekend is the thirtieth anniversary of the first spam email:The first recognisable e-mail marketing message was sent on 3 May, 1978 to 400 people on behalf of DEC - a now-defunct computer-maker.The message was sent via Arpanet - the internet's forerunner - and won its sender much criticism from recipients..........The sender of the first junk e-mail message was Gary Thuerk and it was sent to advertise new additions to DEC's family of System-20 minicomputers.It invited the recipients, all of whom were on Arpanet and lived on the west coast of the US, to go to one of two presentations showing off the capabilities of the System-20.Reaction to the message was swift, with complaints reportedly coming from the US Defense Communications Agency, which oversaw Arpanet, and took Mr Thuerk's boss to task about it. So, how do you plan to celebrate?BBC storyAnother article, including the actual message

OK, so it's hard to do an impression of Marylin Monroe in a topic title.Today, is, according to google, the anniversary of the invention of the laser. First demonstrated in 1960, it was known as a solution looking for a problem - everybody agreed it was clever, but it took some time before it saw a practical use. Now, every single "western" home has at least a handful of lasers, ad they have seen duty everywhere from art to war, via medicine and astronomy.Time to have a quick review of how this tricksie piece of hardware (especially the LED variety) has been treated by our members: Laser-based projects.Laser vortex from this InstructableGoogle's laser results

Just thought id let you know.................im turning 12 unless you're the admin

OK, first I want a hover car, but then I sort of run out of ideas.You get to my age, been independent for quite a while, there's not much stuff that I actually need. There's not even very much more that I want in life. But, people have started asking me what I want for my (say it calmly) fortieth birthday in just over three months.So, I've decided to have a shed-themed birthday list. Tools, materials, kits and what-not.Any suggestions that I can tell She Who Must Be Obeyed so that she can pretend to conspire with my family and arrange "surprise" presents?

Today is Nikola Tesla's Birthday, A famous inventor, mechanical engineer and electrical engineer. He discovered AC power which can travel much farther than DC power as well as the AC motor. and invented the very well known Tesla Coil. As well as many other things we still use today.

Hey everyone its my freakin birthday today im so f'in happy so yea buy me somtin good lol jkjkjk

On Valentines day! Yeah! Oh, Ummmm yeah hmmmm. Thats all I have to say about that..... Bye!

This Dr. Who cake by Domestic Scientist with a flying Dalek is pretty freakin' awesome. It's clearly a labor of love and to make it even more awesome it doesn't even use fondant, but modeling chocolate. Check out the link for more info. Dr Who Birthday Cake via CRAFT

Yes, today is my birthday.  I am 14.  I have a cake and everything.  I was gonna post a gun to concide with this event but unfortunately I couldn't finish it in time.  Oh well. *Update* To coincide with my birthday, I will not read any PM unless it has "To his majesty, the Honorable DJ Radio" in the subject line until March 15, 2010, 14 days from now.  The only exceptions are staff and replies to PM's I have made before March 1.  I'm serious, if you want your PM's read, you have to use that subject line until March 15.

Its February 28. Its My birthday! Sup yall? that is all. We got a party, we got a party! yo! Word. Ok, that was one of my raps. That is all I have to say.

I almost forgot! Today is my 1 year instructabirthday! It's been exactly 365 days since I joined! Hooray!!! I look forward to yet another 365 days of awesome awesomerific awesomeness with a side of cool.

So, soon it will be my 18th Birthday and instead of going out for a meal I have decided that I want to host a Nerf gun war of sorts. A while back me and some friends had a small nerf battle in my attic which was a success-ish. Really what I would like to do is to try to generate some game types as although firing at everyone is fun, I think rules need to be implemented.  I plan to invite around 15-20 people and host it at the local scout hut as I helped out with the Beaver section there for a time. Some ideas I've had are team deathmatch, capture the flag and zombies, if anyone has tried out anything like this any feedback on how it went, or ideas of rules would be great, Thanks in advance, Jack

I planned a surprise bday party for my mom and her friends are buying her a cake. I told them that I will prepare something for her and her friends as well. Originally I thought I would make some cupcakes, but I think there might be too many people. Any ideas? doesn't have to be limited to food. Many thanks!!

Hi, guys! Can you suggest any presents options for my bf 31-st Birthday? He's into modern technology and I run out of the ideas, He already has too many devices :)  I want it to be something simple and interesting at the same time. He's already got VR headset just in case :)

Yes, I turned 50 today. No whirlwind, no party, no production.....ate out at an Italian restaurant, but that was it. Oh, I took off work today until the end of the month....I go back next month :-)

I want to make something homemade for my friends birthday. I want it to be really cool, cause she lives in victoria and I live in surrey. Also, keep in mind that I am a kid, like under 14. My mom says 'no giving out my real age.'

 Today, March the 15th, is the 25th anniversary of Symbolics.com, the first EVER domain name! Happy Birthday Symbolics.com! Link

My daughter gave me a talking birthday card. I thought it would be neat to reprogram it to say something else and give it back to her. The card has a little printed circuit board(1 1/8" X 1 1/8"), a small speaker ( 1 1/2" approx.), and a flat battery (like a watch).

Ok soo, I am in a deep problem. I want to gift something to my husband but o just don't know what to male for him. Things that he is fond of . 1.chess 2. Cell phone ( always on internet) 3. Loves bbq 4. Fan of tools right now 5. Latest obsession is new bullet bike ( indian version of harley davidson.) Now for the tough part. •thought of making a exploding box (birthday giftcard) but i feel it is too girly and clique for a 28 years old. •thought of making ches board ( suck at woodwork) so it is again out ofquestion. leather wallet ( again need skill) • thought of making beard oil but oh well only oil??? i know how to do embroidery. and i can cook decent help plZ  

My son will be 16 next Monday. He has always been fascinated by lights. I thought about getting him the stuff needed to do all those really cool LED projects but they sound pretty complicated. He doesn't have a soldering iron etc. We have normal tools like screwdrivers etc. Any suggestions would be so appreciated. Thanks, Naomi

Today 2/11/11 is A. Edison's 164 th birthday.

My girlfirend's birthday is next month and i have a few ideas on what to give her but not much any ideas lol?

I'm (hopefully) having a nerf war for my 13th. To make it fair everyone gets a maverick, but I want uses for my larger weapons. Here's a list of them: Vulcan, Longstrike, Magstrike, Spectre and Recon. It is (also hopefully) going to take place in a hall. There are 10 people coming.

Ok, This is a bit of a crisis. My oldest son, Skunkpunk, turns 15 today! I turned 37 last week. I'm feeling OLD. I only realized that I was no longer a teenager a couple of years ago, and now I'm having to deal with being a parent of a teen. For me, 15 was a big year. Learning to drive, my first serious girlfriend, etc. I'm not ready to deal with Skunkpunk's teenage-roller-coaster. So anyway, If anyone has any advice for us we could use it. I need advice on how to parent a teen, and he needs advice on how to survive the teen years.

Yesterday was my 53rd trip around the sun as a functioning human entity.  I hope to make a few more trips before my expiration date however;  in the event that I misread that particular portion of my "owner's manual",  I would like to once again express my great appreciation to the Original Instructables Gang, and all those I have known over the last several years. I have grown VERY fond of many of you, I have learned a lot &  I hope I have taught something to someone (I like to give back for what I have gained). I hope you ALL have a grand holiday season coming up, whether you celebrate Turkey Day,  X-mas,  the winter Solstice, Saturnalia, Hanukkah, Brumalia, Kwanza, Yule (added after being reminded by Lemonie), or  Dies Natalis Solis Invicti. 

I've got lots of plain candy pink baseball caps & I thought of using it as birthday favors for my daughter's 3rd birthday. I am confused how? My daughter's name is Julianna Danielle. Her nickname is ianne.

HELP!!! My mom's birthday is in two days. She pretty much appriceates anything. I have about $20. I am already buying her something from Things Remembered, but I want to get her at least one more gift.

This week is just too much for me...first the laptop,  and now my wife gave me an early (by one day) birthday present.   An LED headlamp.  I mean, it isn't much, but she is starting to tune into that gifts for me should be "useful" (I didn't need last year's  entire collection of Star Trek movies on  VHS, etc).    Because it is useful and thought was taken into account to get it, it is one more precious thing happening this week..... And since it is,  I got to go out to a very small, but quite quaint, Italian style Café.  The food is always wonderful, and so I enjoyed a nice Almond crusted Trout meal.   Kind of tops off the week so far :-)     

I'm a highschool student. I just want to make something special on my mother birthday. Her birthday is on November 29, 2013. I hope you guys can help me :) THANK YOU.
