Let's make this birthday one to remember.

87 years old (Born on June 17, 1937)

Happy Birthday, Ted Nelson! May your day be filled with more hyperlinks than you ever imagined and fewer broken links than the rest of us endure. Your visionary 1965 paper didn't just coin "hypertext" and "hypermedia," it practically invented our modern habit of clicking endlessly through Wikipedia until we forget what we were originally searching for.

Thanks to you, we've all become experts at digital rabbit holes—so here's hoping your birthday is as interconnected, innovative, and delightfully nonlinear as the web you've inspired. Cheers to another year ahead full of groundbreaking ideas—and perhaps finally finding that elusive missing link!
