#3If your site's copy asks that question, one of the first things I should see after submitting my birthday is, indeed, my age after 1,000,000 seconds. Seeing a list of everything I could be besides 1,000,000 seconds old confused the heck out of me. :)
That said, pretty cute. I like it. You could make a cute viral Facebook app out of something like this (though maybe with less nerdy milestones).

#4Both are crazy. Why would anyone want celebrate being closer to death? Plus, as a nerd, I wouldn't choose an arbitrary unit of time like seconds.

#5That is a REALLY irritating method of entering a date! To go back a decade, you have to go to january of the first year in the dropdown, click the previous month button.
Can't I just type in a date?

Your 1,000,000 seconds should be in there (unless you have past it already, in which case it is hidden behind the link at the top).
Would you prefer different copy? Maybe I just emphasized that too much putting it as the title on HN.

I'll give you the answer child me would say: presents and cake.

There is a few other planetary orbital periods in there if you prefer another arbitrary unit.
And other bases too incase you weren't born with 10 digits.

Typing in the text box should just work. I'll try to make that more discoverable.
Or if you have another date input widget I'm all ears.
