Happy Birthday, Vint Cerf! 🎉 *The Man Who Connected Us All*

There once was a man with snazzy ties galore,
  Who gave us a network we couldn't ignore.
With TCP/IP he and his co-creators connected the world,
  And a banner of connections was forever unfurled.

Keynotes at PeaceTech & The Stimson Center inspiring change,
  While global leaders listen fully to his ideas & exchange.
The People-Centered Internet coalition activated to care,
  Working to ensure tech benefits are equally shared.

My young son thinks Vint conjured the 'Net with a wand,
  Where magic meets engineering, he's particularly fond!
"Mr. Vint makes computers talk," he once said with delight,
  (Though currently my son cares if science videos stream right!)

>From Commission discussions on data and tech,
  To casual chats inviting all to dream and reflect,
Vint's friendship is a gift that keeps giving each day,
  In this interconnected world you helped pave the way.

Happy Birthday to the most dapper tech genius I know!
  May your cache always be full, and your latency low!
