“I mean, old school web people definitely have opinions...”
From the Initiative for Digital Public Infrastructure at UMass Amherst: “MetaFilter turns 25 this month, a shining beacon of the Good Web. Reluctant owner Jessamyn West tells us how rusty tech and vibrant community keeps it vital.” [Elsewhere: MetaFilter: a time capsule from another internet]
"it does detract from what the site does normally..."
Happy birthday to cortex
Let's all wish a very happy and hopefully stress-free b-day to outgoing veteran mod, inveterate punster, and all-around mensch, MeFi's own cortex "Josh" Millard. [more inside]
This is just to say
Thank you, Metafilter.... [more inside]

Happy Birthday dear jessamyn,
All my favorites, to yooooouuuu! ♩ ♫
AND MANYYY MOOOOOOORE.....
hello sweetie
The love of my eternal life has a birthday today. Please send her a groovy greeting. She is the absolute grooviest!
Happy birthday, Jessamyn!
In the grand tradition of celebrating jessamyn day every year, happy birthday to you up there in VT and to me and all the other MeFites whose day it is! You were one of my very first Internet Heroes, who just seemed comfy in knowing things and being good to people.
Happy 20th Anniversary, MetaFilter
MetaFilter, that weird blue site (and, yep, we've finally turned it blue again), is 20 years old today.
It's a thrilling and boggling and remarkable and ungainly and heartening number. I've had trouble figuring out what the thing is that I want to say about the site today, and I've realized the problem is there's no one thing. MetaFilter is too complex, its history too complicated, to reduce to a tidy anecdote.
But I want to talk a little about what it means to me, and what I want it to aspire to, and to reflect a little bit on this twenty year milestone on an unsteady world wide web. [more inside]

Metafilter's 20th: Any Plans
If my math is correct Metafilter will be 20 next year. This seems like something that may take a year to plan. Are there any plans? Anyone planning on making plans? What's the plan for plans?
Many happy returns, cortex!

Mefi Card Club!
Based on the wild successes of recent Metafilter card swaps (latest Metatalk thread with all the previouslies here) , and mochapickle's genius idea, I've put together a Card Club, where mefites can sign up to send cards on a regular basis, and receive cards in the month of their special occasion. Have a stash of stationary waiting to be sent? Interested in getting some awesome cards sent your way? Read on! [more inside]
Calling all Cards!
Having just mailed my cards for Project G.I.V.E. M.E. (that is, Great Internet Valentine Exchange, Metafilter Edition), and having had at least as much fun as I did with the winter holiday cards, I'm wondering if there's enough momentum and interest for another project. [more inside]
Many happy returns of the day
Happy birthday, jessamyn! Here's to you! May you have as much company, and as much cake or pie, as you want today. [more inside]
Happy birthday to the First Librarian!
Our Jessamyn was one of the first blogging librarians; in fact, I think she started her blog back when the term was "web log." A free speech advocate, author, computer literacy practicioner and pretty good pool player, Jessamyn has helped set the tone for the way Metatalk and AskMetafilter have evolved and we have been very lucky to have her input on tons of questions over the years. Happy birthday, Jessamyn! ♥
Auto-generated Named Birthday Videos?
I'm looking for a link in a comment (which I thought I'd bookmarked/favourited) to an auto-generated overblown "Happy Birthday" video on YouTube. There were innumerable near-identical further ones for a wide range of names and also relationship-titles (Brother-in-Law, Daughter, etc). I think it was posted on either MetaTalk or MeFi, and certainly in the last 3-4 months. All help appreciated. Both memory and google-fu are failing me terribly today.
Jessamyn Day 2015
It is the 5th of the 9th, which means it is the correct day to wish Jessamyn the most splendid of birthdays. Some of the Further Adventures of Jessamyn are pictorialised on The Flickr, and here be links to previous Jessamyn Days.
Cake and ice cream for everyone! Except the dogs.
Today is my Metafilter account's 10th birthday! To celebrate, here is a photo from before I joined the site of a puppy sitting on a laptop which is displaying Ask Metafilter. To illustrate how long it's been, here is that puppy's fully grown son. [more inside]
Happy birthday, Cortex!
I hope you got the weekend off to play.
We know the queue is there for just that reason.
To let the mods have downtime, just like folks.
And let us all cool off despite the season.
Your first birthday as our dear leader.
Hope this has made your life sweeter.
We'll also see you on the "Tweeter."
Dear Cortex, nothing could be neater!
Happy birthday, dude!
...but not retired from being awesome
It is Jessamyn Day, so Happy Birthday, user 292! Jessamyn's 10^2 photo set from an August trip to London. [more inside]
Happy birthday Mefi Music!
Back in 2006, the cover was lifted on the version of Metafilter Music we all know and love! I wanted to wish it happy birthday, and post a torrent for the songs from 2013! [more inside]
15th Anniversary
So, it was brought to my attention by eamondaly that the 15th anniversary of Metafilter is coming up in a few weeks. Here's some suggestions as how to celebrate: [more inside]
Happy birthday Cortex!
I can't believe no one has said anything to our "datawranglin' mod" until now, but many happy returns!
A pony for our MeFi birthdays?
We can click birthdays in user profiles to find MeFites who share the same birthday, and we can click locations to find other MeFites who are geographically close. How about a clickable join-date to find MeFites who joined on the same day (+/- N yrs)? It would be like a pony crossed from the old-timers thread and bondcliff's birthday pony! [more inside]
I think I'll go and eat worms
It was my 10th birthday yesterday and no one remembered. No cake, no presents, no birthday post, not even a memail.

Happy 40th birthday, user #1 (Mathowie)
Happy 40th birthday, Matthew. But, what does one get as a 'significant birthday' present for he who separated the light from the darkness, and verily created the blue? [more inside]

Happy birthday, Cortex!
Coooooooooooooortex! Happy birthday, dude! I think dude deserves a shoutout for his mod duties, for MeFi music, for all the data crunching, for the fascinating subsites and just for being an all-around outstanding contributor to the site. So, thanks man and again, happy natal anniversary!
The mystery continues...
The Phantom Gifter strikes again. [more inside]

Memories in the corners of the site

Can I tell you how old I am but not my birthday?
Is it (or would it be) possible for users to share our correct ages on our profiles without displaying our entire dates of birth there? [more inside]
Birthday pony!
In my profile I can see a list of users who are located near me geographically. I think it would be neat if I could click on the birthday I have listed and see a list of users I share a birthday with. Perhaps including the year they were born, if they have it listed. [more inside]
The 7th anniversary is the desk set anniversary....
Just who does this "matthowie" guy think he is, anyway?!
I can't believe what he's trying to pull... [more inside]
Jessamyn Day!
For he's a jolly good fellow, &c.
Dear Askme, my cat is wedged in my scanner.
You'd think, after eleven years, we'd have finally figured out how these people got their cats wedged into their scanners, or why. But anyway, Happy Birthday, MeFi!
30? Rock!
I'm back in New York City, and I'm turning thirty. Karaoke, drinks... let's do this meetup thang. [more inside]
cat scanner shirts
Cat Scan Shirts are one of the strangest shirts I've seen in some time. I have no idea how these people got their cats wedged into their scanners, or why. TODAY 5/16 ONLY. [more inside]
Now we are six
Ask MetaFilter is six years old today-ish. The subsite that began without its own URL has grown into its own fully tagged, categorized (mostly) searchable archive of our little hive's collected wisdom. Just last month over 1900 users wrote questions and 5300 users gave answers. [more inside]
Happy Birthday User No. 1
Birthday greetings to the one who started it all. Happy Birthday Matt!
They say it's your birthday!
A collaborative serenade for our beloved moderatrix on her birthday.
Hapyy birthday, MetaFilter, from TechRadar!
OH SNAP LOL
Why in the fucking fuck was my post in Ask deleted, assholes? [more inside]
