Let's make this birthday one to remember.

66 years old (Born on April 07, 1959)

Happy Birthday, Christopher! May your day be filled with more joy than a neural network discovering its optimal weights. Your groundbreaking work at Microsoft Research in Cambridge has truly set the benchmark—though we're still waiting for you to teach AI how to blow out birthday candles without overheating servers.

From leading the Machine Learning and Perception group, you've shown us that intelligence isn't artificial when it comes from someone as brilliant (and humorous) as yourself. Here's hoping this year brings even greater successes—and fewer bugs—than ever before. Cheers to another fantastic orbit around the sun; may your algorithms always converge!
