Jason Calacanis, a man unafraid to post on his blog Calacanis.com about “being inducted in my high school’s Alumni hall of fame,” turns 36 today. In addition to being a former bigwig at Netscape, a founder of Weblogs, Inc., and a serial entrepreneur guy who is on the precipice of launching a new venture, Jason sits on the ThisNext board… and, by “sits,” I mean “bosses us around (in a constructive way) through a speaker phone.”

In lieu of a cupcake with a candle, we offer this humble BlogIt post featuring one of his more recent picks, the new 007, paired with this message: Jason, having you work with us feels about as great as having cool new James Bond on our side. Bad guys, sucks to be you.

Happy Birthday!
(Jason)
