(Belated) blogiversary
It was a year ago yesterday when my first post appeared (this post is number 1645, in case you are scoring at home). Of course, when I got this blog up-and-running last May, I never expected the Supreme Court and other institutions would do so much to make the past year in sentencing law and policy so dynamic and interesting (although I must note, with much pride, that in this pre-Blakely post I did predict that Blakely might be a blockbuster).
I also never expected I would make so many friends through this medium and that I would learn so much from fellow bloggers and readers about sentencing (and other matters). I am profoundly grateful for all the help, encouragement and thanks that I have received from so many, and I feel quite lucky to have been in the right (cyber)place at the right time.

Happy Blogiversary Professor.
From an anonymous voice out of the internet, Thank You. Your tireless and candid work, and the information bank you have created has eased many sleepless nights for those whoh love an inmate. You have affected thousands and thousands of lives for the better. You have provided a forum for those who have been wronged by Justice Department and the cogs therein. You let us know that we are not alone and that there is hope for change.

I have been a faithful reader for selfish reasons--my own fate. I am about the be a POW in the war on drugs, and any information I gather from your blog gets routed to my attorney. Thanks for all the time and energy you graciously give to an area of law I wish I knew nothing about...
