Celebrating 34

Posted By Darren Rowse 27th of April 2006 ProBlogger Site News 0 Comments

Today I turn 34. It’ll be a pretty low key day with most of the celebrations happening on the weekend (not too big a deal this year but we’ll have a good night Saturday night).

So lets talk presents….

Ok – I’m kidding, i don’t need anything but there is something I do WANT from you my wonderful readers.

Whether you consider it a birthday present, a payment for the time and energy that I invest into ProBlogger or whether you do it out of some other motivation I’d like to invite you to being involved in my annual blogathon that I’m planning by making a donation.

I’m still a few weeks away from pulling it all together but I’ve begun planning for it and as I did last year will blog for 24 hours straight, posting every 15 minutes (I aim for 100 posts in the day) and ask readers to make a donation to a charity.

I’ve chosen this year’s charity and just need to finalize a date but I would really appreciate people getting involved. More about this in the coming week or two.

Now – lets get back to blogging.

Happy birthday, Darren. You’re middle-aged now, but I beat you to it. :-)

Happy Birthday down under, Darren! I hope you’ll be blogging (or otherwise innovating) for years to come.
Isaak says: 04/27/2006 at 2:26 am

Happy Birthday, Darren. Am a lurker so far. But it has been a great learning experience through reading your blog. Hoping to become a pro blogger in due time.
Andy Merrett says: 04/27/2006 at 2:58 am

Cheers,

Happy Birthday, Darren! Best of luck in your 34th year.
Paul says: 04/27/2006 at 7:57 am

Hmm, 34 eh? So that means I have about 4 years to go before I too am one of the hottest bloggers around?

Happy birthday mate (and I mean “mate” in the way a South African can call an Aussie “mate” – friendly and well-meaning but with recent defeats on the sporting field very much in mind). Have an awesome day and year ahead!

Hey Darren,

Whatever you are doing keep it up because it is working!

All the best of success!
Chris Gribble says: 04/27/2006 at 9:36 am

Hey Darren happy birthday. Thanks for all your tips. I love the idea about doing something for charity. It may be the beginning of something even bigger too. Why not a hundred bloggers for 24 hours posting every 15mins. I am sure that there are others who may want to help.
"Pink Eyed" Jim says: 04/27/2006 at 9:49 am

Hey Darren,

I just wanted to take the time to pop in and wish you a happy birthday. I had no idea your birthday was today. So is mine. You’re exactly 10 years older than me to the day.

April 27th is a good day. Samuel Morse shares our birthday. And so does Casey Kasem. Do you know of any other famous birthdays on APril 27th?
James says: 04/27/2006 at 10:03 am

Congrats Darren, I’ll pick you up some coffees if you fancy…
Darren Rowse says: 04/27/2006 at 11:26 am

mmm coffee…. :-)
Leon says: 04/27/2006 at 11:27 am

Happy birthday! Time to update your “About Darren Rowse” page! :)
Darren Rowse says: 04/27/2006 at 11:33 am

hehe – true. Will do so now….. something like ‘Darren Rowse is an old fart…’
Kevin says: 04/27/2006 at 5:04 pm

Happy Birthday Darren. Looks like the weather co-operated to give you a lovely day.

Happy 34th!

Did you ever celebrate your third of a century? I remember mentioning it last year because mine was so much fun.
Jonas says: 04/28/2006 at 10:15 am

Darren, if you’re an old-fart than I hate to think what I am… I turned 37 a few months back. ;)

Happy Belated Birthday, Mate!
