A few weeks ago on my PHP advent post, I mentioned some cool and useful things you can do with Twilio in two minutes. One of the things had to do with my dad's birthday, which is next week. I first opened this up to his friends and family, but then I thought, why not open it up to anyone who wants to chime in?

My dad, Bill, is awesome:

• He still works full time as an engineering consultant
• He takes care of my mom, who suffers from fibromyalgia and arthritis
• He still takes time to throw the football with his grandson, and play Wii with his granddaughters
• He *will* crush you at Battlefield 3, despite his deceiving KDR
• He has a few patents in his name
• Most importantly, he is always there to help neighbors, family and friends out of a jam. Always.

If you want to help me wish Bill a "Happy 70th Birthday," here's what you can do:

1. Call toll-free 866-266-8038.
2. Leave a message for him. Sing him a song, read him a poem, or simply wish him a happy birthday.
3. Leave your message before Monday, Jan 2

I'll compile all the responses I get onto a CD, and give it to him on his birthday.

Thanks for helping make my dad's day great!
