I feel 100 feet tall.
This year has truly seen the democratization of this technique, which in some ways is the best validation of all. Allow me to point you to some notable examples:
This was brilliant.
This too.
This series was amazing.
This guy beat me to the punch (damn!).
This ruled.
This theme owned.
This won King Beard, and rightly so. As did this, this, this, this, and this.
In any case, thanks guys. You're making it awesome.
