Who Commutes on a single speed?

Just curious how many people actually use a single speed for commuting? Show and tell and I'll start.

My Single Speed Commuter is a Specialized Crossroads running 44x18 gearing and 700c wheels. I've added a singulator due to vertical drop outs but I'm looking at replacing the drops with track bike ends and going fixie.

My Commute is only about 5-6 miles one way and soon will be a little longer when I move this week. Also I'll having to skirt some seriously steep hills to get to work.
