It's Andrew's birthday on Monday. I have this vague idea in my head of gifting him with some kind of internet paper-trail - so, a cryptic LJ post sends him to google for a particular usenet post where a previously cryptic signature sends him, I don't know, back to the original truckboard, which sends him to nat's tagboard, which sends him...etc, until he ends up at a big picture of a giant robot wishing him a happy birthday. Or something. Then I thought it might be neat if lots of people on his friends list contributed, rather than it all coming from me.
Unfortunately, it's friday, and his birthday is on monday, and I'm going to be offline over the weekend. Oops. But do any of you think this might be a fun idea? Do any of you have other ideas for links in the chain? I'm thinking ideally it would be lots of sites outside LJ, and preferably ones we can edit ourselves. But at the same time, this is only a vague idea in my head.
So - comments, suggestions, volunteers? Am I out of my tree?
