Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on March 13, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Michael! From launching TechCrunch in your pajamas to selling it to AOL—your journey has been nothing short of legendary. You've proven that blogging can indeed change the tech world (and make AOL cool again, briefly).

Your knack for spotting innovation and stirring up Silicon Valley drama is unmatched. May your birthday be filled with fewer pitch decks and more cake slices, fewer startup pitches and more relaxing moments. Here's hoping this year brings you as much excitement as breaking a hot tech scoop—but without the midnight deadlines.

Cheers to another year of disrupting birthdays everywhere!
