"Lockhart Steele"

Seriously?

Was that his (her?) secret identity?

Did he (she?) give you missions for a shadowy quasi-governmental organization?

I mean, I have a weird name, but Lockhart Steele is right up there with Joe Stalin.

@Klebert L. Hall: No that really is his real name. And he doesn't look like a secret agent at all.

Yay! One year ago, I came here as an excited reader. Who knew my name would end up on the masthead!? I raise my glass to Annalee, the other io9 editors, and all the awesome readers and commenters.

Wow. I think I've been coming here since almost day one, then. Didn't think of commenting until fairly recently, since I didn't want to spew my filthy vitrol everywhere just yet. Keep it up, guys, happy barfday!

Here's to many more. When are you gonna start publishing short fiction? I just noticed that most of the old Sci-fi magazines printed short fiction... Fiction Fridays anyone?

It's been an honor to serve as this sites unofficial (some would say unwanted) Token Conservative for the past year.

Thanks for turning me on to Middleman, Torchwood, SJA and tons of cheesy movies (the best you could find, fa la la).

Happy Birthday.

I want brandy!

Also, to be serious for a moment, you guys have been real good sports about my own self-aggrandizement, and I really do appreciate the traffic that you've sent my way.

So, you know. Thanks. I guess.

@c0dek: It's a roman year. Not christian. The length of the year never changed when Anno Domini was adopted. Just the numbering system, which has nothing to do with anniversaries.
