Wikipedia

Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.

Facts:

1839 - John Herschel takes the first glass plate photograph.
1947 - "First actual case of (a computer) bug being found": a moth lodges in a relay of a Mark II computer at Harvard University.
2001 - 01:46:40 UTC - the Unix billennium.

Births:

1466 - Ashikaga Yoshitane, Japanese shogun (d. 1523)
1754 - William Bligh, British naval officer (d. 1817)

Deaths:

1976 - Mao Zedong, President of China(b. 1893)

Not, in all, terribly interesting...

Hey, I'd saying sharing your birthday with the concept of the Bug is a pretty cool thing for someone in the field. ;)
