pb, I know what you mean about the birthday math. I'm about the same age, and I'm getting to the point where I genuinely forget how old I am, usually by a year or so. Fortunately, I've been pleasantly surprised that it's not older than I initially fear before I do the calculation. I don't know if that will last forever, though.

At this point, I think it's more like "the place wouldn't be without you".

If I can jump on this pony request, I'd also like to see the site reconfigured to more accurately reflect pb's awesomeness. Maybe make it more scripty? I hear a lot about these 'scripts.' Also, make everything bigger so I can see the logo.

No no no, the whole thing's gotta "pop"! You know? And add some of this social networking stuff, the kids love that.
Here, I have some mockups that my eight-year-old cousin drew, she's a whiz with computers. Can you get this done by tomorrow? I'll decide whether to pay you after I see the finished product.

Since we're redesigning the site here: as the mods grow older, the default font size should increase. Also, I hear Comic Sans is pretty good for poor eyesight.
