the birthday doodle

i had a birthday last month, which means that when i opened up teh googles to look something up, i got the birthday doodle.

it has a cute little animation and stuff but i couldn't remember telling google my birthday, so it felt weird.

then again, i use a variety of google products and i cannot imagine it's all that hard for the internet to find out when my birthday is.

and speaking of personal identifiers, have either of you used paypal recently? they're now asking you if you want to provide them with YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER!

yanno, just in case you want to provide one stop shopping for identity thieves.

then again, paypal is probably more secure than, say, your doctor or your bank.
