As you should all recall, we took nominations for a position we're calling "Defender of the People". We got a lot of great suggestions that we would like to thank everyone for making. We really had a lot of work to do once the nominees were all in as there were so many who we thought would have been great. But for now, we had to choose only one!

So without further adieu, I'd like to introduce UTAH as the first Defender of the People!

In addition to receiving a bunch of praise from you all, he has already done a lot to make things around here fun and exciting and we're excited to have him as part of the team.

Look forward to seeing his influence in the not to distant future and raise a mug in his honor!
