    "Standing between a slender 5' 8" to 6' 1"—depending on her particular mood"

    Great photo aside, this is what got my attention. She can swap out leg lengths like some of us swap out shoes. That's amazing. #aimeemullins

    @Jeb_Hoge: I definitely agree, but then again, just about all women have had this advantage for quite some time. The choice of wearing high heels varying from 1" up to 6" is commonplace. #aimeemullins

    Okay, so she's an amputee. Fine. Athlete? Check. Not to seem the spoilsport, but I'm hoping that she'll bring some perspective on topics outside of those two personal attributes. #aimeemullins

    I think the only lasting downside for me, personally, if i was missing the ends of my legs is that, no matter where i go or what i do, it all comes back to the legs, and how they aren't there. I find it annoying enough having to explain why I'm missing an eyebrow.

    However, given that her leglessness is the focus of our first introduction to Ms. Mullins, I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that a bit of harmless humor related to the subject won't be frowned upon (at least by the editors)

    Apologies in advance.

    I'm glad giz is giving her a leg up. Lord knows that footing the rent isn't easy these days. It's good to hear from people from all walks of life, especially on a technology blog. I look forward to running into her on the site, and hopefully she will set the pace for more female bloggers in tech.

    and yes, i know that was just about as tasteless as a Styrofoam sandwich, but then again, at least i got it over with, and she won't be surprised at my absence of class and lack of comedic boundaries.

    If she's what it means to be "disabled," then why are the "able-bodied" among us so jealous?

    Welcome Ms. Mullins. My fiance nearly lost her leg in a recent motorcycle accident. As we were considering the prospect of a prosthetic leg, your story provided great hope, especially as she is a runner as well. I enjoyed your TED talk (talks? i think i remember two.) and look forward to hearing your thoughts on the future of prosthetics. #aimeemullins

    @RachelSklar: Thanks. My fiance is doing better everyday, can run about 3 miles 2 years later. She had an exposed tib-fib, non-union after 11 months. Bone graft helped. When I took the sharp turn, I knew it was trouble. Looked over my shoulder to see her flying head over heels off her motorcycle over a guard rail. It seemed she was likely dead but she had full body armor and only the leg broke. I miss that armor, she looked good in it. #aimeemullins

    This is awesome, and I hope to see some good subsequent content, or we'll have to sacrifice Wilson to the Gods.

    Also, I must formally echo the opinion that said guest editor is hot #internethorndog

    @Kaiser-Machead: Have you seen her photo on the cover of "Dated & Confused"? It is pure sex-appeal.

    But now we should get back to serious stuff, we don't want her to think Gizmodians are horny, pubescent geeks.

    @mangochutney: Changing our ways won't stop people from exploring the backlogs and backalleys of gawker to find out that we're rampant horndogs.

    No doubt it would take several hand-counters to measure how many times someone's said "giggity" and "I'd hit that". #aimeemullins
