I woke up this morning thinking that today would just be any ordinary day, waiting for my bag of crap to come in the mail, going through the boring career day in school, and then get assigned multiple tests for the next day, but after I came home from lunch, everything changed. I got a ride home, just like any other day, when suddenly I felt this exciting feeling as I walked through the door. I knew it! My bag of crap came early! My wanna-be-cool father tried his usual move by trying to hide the box, although it never works, he still does it and thinks he’s funny. So I lifted the beautiful box of crap and saw the woot logo on the side. I instantly ripped it open with a knife, and started looking through all of my miscellaneous items. Once I got through the huge layer of good ol’ packets of air, I layed my eyes upon four items that blew my mind away. The first that I picked out of the box of crap was a maroon wine holder bag. I know, I know, really lame, but buying a bag of crap has that kind of risk involved. After that I picked up the next item. It was a cheap plastic bag, with three helicopter launchers in it. I opened it up later in the day, and boy were they fun. The third item was a small electronic sudoku game. I thought it was a pretty good piece of crap, but I never opened it because I knew it would come in handy some day for a present of some sort. The last item was where the bag of crap was all worth it. It was a rectangular white box, with some pictures of what looked to be future handheld devices. I looked on the side, and yes, it was what I always wanted, a Palm IIIxe. This was the talk of the town model back in about 2000.

Well, after all the excitement ended, I was getting late for lunch, so I headed back to school. After school, I had to goto practice, which was only about an hour “grab-ass” event with our laid-back coach. As soon as I got home from that, I started to work my magic. I turned on my new beautiful device, and instantly we had a bond. I started my routine hacking, and wow, was it fun. I put multiple programs on the wondrous xe, and they all were quite impressive. That night, I hooked the beast up to my computer via serial cable, and rigged it to a feed from my computer to display multiple things like cpu usage, memory usage, and other stuff relating to that matter. I started talking to my bro about it all, and he thought it was pretty cool too. Then the conversation waded off, and the talk of his website came up. For some reason, he made me an admin, and told me that my duty was to post a story tonight. Well this is it folks, in all its glory. So here’s to you my great brother Andy, heres to you.

P.S. For dramatized affects and coolness, I attached a picture of the hackingness that you all have witness on the marvelous evening.
