Who's the Giver?

Some extraordinarily kind and generous soul sent me The Encyclopedia of New York City from my Amazon wishlist for my birthday tomorrow, but neglected to identify themselves on the note in the package. It's a truly fantastic gift, so if you sent it, please let me know so I can properly thank you.

To the rest of you, I'd strongly recommend the book. Obviously, as a 1300+ page reference book, it's not exactly light reading, but it's still well worth keeping around if you're a fan of the city.

The wootests salute you and your birthday. Is there a conference associated with the International Anil Dash Birthday Day? :)

Hey Anil- happy birthday to a fellow Virgo. My birthday is the 10th. :)

Happy Birthday Anil! Many more.

Happy Birthday Anil.
I've got your site in my favourites for couple of days, which means I find it interesting.
Greetings from Poland.

Tillykke med fødselsdagen, Anil (happy birthday). May your wishes come through.

Happy birthday, Anil! I have had your site bookmarked for a few days now as well.

دوست من وبلاگت را جزء به جزء خواندم نوشته هايت بوي تازگي ميدهد حس عجيبي پيدا ميكنم وقتي اينطور نوشته ها را ميخوانم. وبلاگ بدون لينك مثل رودي ميماند كه هرگز به دريا نمي ريزد .اگر مايل بودي به هم بلينكيم . پاينده باشي

Happy birthday, Anil.

looks like you beat me to it. my MS Outlook kept coming up with your birthday tomorrow all this week. in any case, !happy birfday! and many more.

If no one else takes credit for giving you the gift, then I suppose I will.

I am a jerk like that.

Happy Bday.

Isn't being a Virgo just so constricting?

Happy Birthday Anil!

Being a Virgo is liberating, not constricting. When my utter perfection bothers people, I say, "well, I'm a Virgo, I can't help it."

Happy Birfday you cheeky monkey!

Janmadina Abhinandan!

Happy International Anil Dash Birthday Day to everyone!

Are you celebrating with the traditional foods, music and dancing? Are you wearing your costumes*? Whee! I love this holiday!

Happy birthday old chap. (Not old in the age sense of course).

heppy bird-day to yooou, as my grandma would sing...have a good one...

I'm a random visitor visiting through a friend's blog. Happy Birthday. Someone gave me the Encyclopedia of New York a few years ago. Isn't it wonderful? I am also a Virgo and we really are very special people. Don't you think?

Choking to death in your own vomit is way overrated. Happy Birthday anyway!

happie birthday!! :) I hope it was a great one.

Belated birthday wishes ..hope you had a great time.
