Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on September 22, 1952)

Happy Birthday, John Hennessy—the legendary godfather of Silicon Valley! From founding MIPS Computer Systems to revolutionizing wireless connectivity with Atheros, your innovations have shaped the tech world. Rumor has it that silicon chips whisper your name in awe whenever they boot up.

Your recent successes continue inspiring generations—winning prestigious awards and guiding Stanford University into new frontiers as President Emeritus. May this birthday bring you fewer bugs than a freshly compiled program and more joy than discovering free Wi-Fi at an airport lounge!

Here's wishing you another year filled with groundbreaking ideas—and perhaps finally inventing self-debugging code!
