In the cases of Magnus Manske day and Tim Starling day, you explicitly specified what it was that made you declare these days. What is it in this case?
(Maybe it's something obvious and I just missed it?)
With Magnus Manske and Tim Starling, yes, it was a single unique achievement at a point in time. Brion's award is a lifetime achievement award. He's done so much, for so long, it was impossible to single out any one thing.
Since I'm planning to keep doing this once per year, and since there are so many deserving people, it's going to have to be more of a lifetime achievement sort of thing.
