We are on the precipice of a fantastic day.

Tomorrow is the second anniversary of an event that changed the way the world looked at the world. Before June 25th, 2003, the internet was seen as nothing more than a global network of computers allowing the quick transfer of various types of information and way for a lot of very fat, lonely Star Trek fans to socialize with other fat, lonely Star Trek fans. On June 26th, 2003, the people of the world realized that the internet was something much, much more. It had become the vessel for My Great Ideas.

The Spoonbender will be two-years old tomorrow, but as tomorrow is a Saturday and I generally refrain from posting on the weekends, we will rejoice together today.

There's a lot to love about this website, and chief among those things is me. And love me you have. You've loved me in your comments and in your emails, you've loved me in your prayers and your masturbatory fantasies. And although I've ignored them all, I recognize that all of these things are important to you. There is, after all, so little holding your pitiful life together. There are days when it feels as though simply turning on your computer, launching your web browser, and clicking the link to The Spoonbender will take every bit of energy and willpower you have. But you do it, and you read it, and you delight in it, and you live to visit another day.

That's why I say to you all on this bianniversaryeve, you're welcome. You don't really deserve it, but I'm generous that way.
