For D&D's 40th Anniversary, Wizards encourages fans to play the game and enjoy. What better way to celebrate.
Also, if you're up for it, shout out your love of the game through the D&D Facebook Page and D&D Twitter Channel (or any social media would be fine I assume) using #DnD40.
To get the ball rolling, WotC posted thoughts and videos of a couple of familiar designers/authors speaking about their D&D experiences.

Okay, it's Ed Greenwood and Troy Denning if anyone is curious but not curious enough to click the link. And now you probably clicked through. Ha!
Edit: Wizards updated the page with additional videos from Erin M. Evans and Richard Lee Byers.
(We're missing Paul S. Kemp and RA Salvatore and we'll have the whole Sundering crew.)
***
Over at the Kobold Press blog (link), the kobolds have trapped some designers/authors-you-may-have-heard-of to interrogate them about their favorites and experiences regarding the game.
Part one of this blog series includes David "Zeb" Cook, Bruce Cordell, Jeff Grubb, Colin McComb, Wade Rockett, Robert Schwalb, and Margaret Weis.

I have a dream that one day, all game worlds will exist as one. |

| I'm only twenty six. It's tough for me to concieve that DnD is this old. In my mind, DnD is only two or three years older than I am. |
When life turns it's back on you...sneak attack for extra damage.

I wrote a blog post about D&D's birthday, and how it has affected my writing career (hint: it's kinda the reason I'm a writer at all!).
Cheers |
