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.
