Eight examples

One person up to eight, every one of them a real page you can open.

The point of putting everyone on a single page is the comparison: whose major version is about to roll over, who shares a birthday with whom, how far apart two people really are once you stop counting in years.

• Tim Berners-Lee

  One person, one number. He gave the web its addresses; this is his in three parts.

  1 person · zen

• The Williams sisters

  Fifteen months apart, and you can read the gap straight off the minor version.

  2 people · polaroid

• The Harry Potter three

  Cast as eleven-year-olds in 2001. All three are well into their fourth major release now.

  3 people · tarot

• The Obamas

  What the site was built for: a household on one page, parents and children on the same scale.

  4 people · fridge

• Radiohead

  Same school, same band since 1985, and still inside a four-year spread.

  5 people · nixie

• The original six

  Two of them share a birthday seventeen years apart, so their patch numbers move in lockstep forever.

  6 people · memphis

• BTS

  Seven people born inside five years. The minor versions bunch up; the patches scatter.

  7 people · departures

• Eight language creators

  The people who gave us MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH in the first place, rendered in it.

  8 people · terminal

Every birthday here is public record; dates verified on 2026-09-09. Everyone listed is living — a version number that keeps incrementing for someone who has died is the wrong artefact to publish.
