One of the features was a list of who had a birthday that month. I wondered if the current IT Services staff would like to see posts announcing birthdays.<\/p>\n<p>That led to my thinking about the Birthdays calendar in Google. It is an odd thing. For example, why do I have three instances of Bill Miley&#8217;s birthday (I am happy to have one notice, but three?) And, who is Mark Bell, and why is his birthday on my calendar?<\/p>\n<p>So, great IT hive mind, does anyone actively use the Birthday&#8217;s calendar? \u00a0Can you help me get my birthdays under control? \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/itservices\/files\/2016\/08\/LS003294.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-602 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/itservices\/files\/2016\/08\/LS003294-172x300.png\" alt=\"LS003294\" width=\"172\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/itservices\/files\/2016\/08\/LS003294-172x300.png 172w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/itservices\/files\/2016\/08\/LS003294.png 588w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 172px) 100vw, 172px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning as I was drying my hair and thinking about what useful or interesting information I could blog about, I had an idea, which [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":729,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"_s2mail":"yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-600","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-it-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/itservices\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/600","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/itservices\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/itservices\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/itservices\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/729"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/itservices\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=600"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/itservices\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/600\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/itservices\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=600"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/itservices\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=600"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/itservices\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=600"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
